Frances Fitzgerald (Dublin Mid West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

The domestic violence consolidated legislation the Deputy mentioned is in the Seanad and I would like to see it go through that House as quickly as possible. I was very pleased to introduce that important Bill.

The Government is working closely with the Departments of Justice and Equality and of Health to deal with one issue that has arisen in respect of signing the convention. It is intended to sign the convention by the end of this year. The legislation should be available soon.
