Marian Harkin (Sligo-Leitrim, Independent)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the fact that we do not have a comprehensive national women's strategy that will address the issues of violence against women in all its forms and, in particular, that, in my constituency of Sligo-Leitrim, there is no safe crisis accommodation for women and their children experiencing domestic violence and there is no ongoing support for people whose homes are no longer a safe refuge.
