Gerry Adams (Louth, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

Ar dtús, ba mhaith liom a rá go seasaim leis an gCeann Comhairle maidir leis an méid a dúirt sé faoi anti-Semitism. Aontaím leis faoi sin. Táim sásta fosta go mbeidh díospóireacht againn faoin White Paper on universal health insurance. Tá sin an-tábhachtach. An féidir linn ceisteanna a chur ar an Aire ag deireadh na díospóireachta sin?

Maidir le reachtaíocht atá fógartha faoi chlár an Rialtais, and the consolidated domestic violence legislation, the programme for Government promises to introduce reformed domestic violence legislation to address all aspects of domestic violence and to do so in a manner that provides protection to victims. When will the legislation be published? At this time women's aid refuges are being closed, including one in Dundalk, which will leave Drogheda women's aid centre as the only refuge for victims of domestic violence covering Louth, Cavan and Monaghan. In addition to the legislation we also need the Government to really help the victims of domestic violence by ensuring that funding for these refuges continues.
