My priority is to get a domestic violence refuge for the Cavan and Monaghan region as quickly as possible. The Deputy is looking for two. We need to get one in there, I would have thought, immediately and promptly. That is what I am working on. As stated, a lot of work is being done with key stakeholders in terms of progressing the development of an eight-unit refuge for the region that would include community-facing ancillary support services. I am committing to putting one refuge in the region.

I note what Deputy Bennett said about the Istanbul Convention. I would be interested in discovering what is the level of compliance with the requirements of the Istanbul Convention in other countries. I would be surprised if they were all in compliance.
