Fiona O'Loughlin (Kildare South, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

Statistics have shown us that Irish women are among the least likely in Europe to report crimes of domestic violence and abuse. We have to do more to support and enable these victims. Seven months have passed since the Domestic Violence Act 2018, introduced on 1 February 2017, passed all Stages of the Oireachtas. This is groundbreaking legislation. It moves to a more victim-centred approach and is very important legislation. Not a single piece of this Act has been commenced. Will the Minister please tell us when we can expect this legislation to be commenced?
