Ba mhaith liom ceist a chur ar an Taoiseach faoin Bhille um fhoréigean baile. The enactment of the Domestic Violence Bill is an important step in the Government's long overdue ratification of the Istanbul Convention and the Council of Europe Convention on preventing and combatting violence against women and domestic violence. In July, after a long delay, the Minister for Justice and Equality published the heads and general scheme of the new Domestic Violence Bill. Can the Taoiseach say when he expects that Bill to be published and when the Criminal Justice (Victims of Crime) Bill, which aims to strengthen the rights of victims of crime and is linked to this issue, will be published?
