I acknowledge the support of all parties here in facilitating the ratification of the Istanbul Convention that involved four pieces of distinct legislation. Having regard to the fact that this Dáil has been dubbed the "do nothing Dáil", this is progress that is not only welcome but enduring.
I acknowledge what Deputy Howlin said about refuges. This is a challenge. I have been speaking to the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government on the issue. He faces challenges in this area as well. I hope to be in a position to report progress on the matter. I would like an opportunity to interrogate further the proposal made by Deputy Howlin and I would be happy to report on this issue in a few months' time.
