Charles Flanagan (Laois, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

The Deputy raises two points, one of which relates to the domestic violence Bill. It is currently awaiting resumption at Committee Stage, and any further amendments will be given appropriate consideration.

The specific case is the subject matter of two investigations. One is being carried out by the Garda and the other by the independent Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission. I am awaiting details and the completion of both reports, whereupon the matter can be considered further.
