Seán Ó Fearghaíl: Last week I asked about the Istanbul convention to prevent violence against women. I also raised the issue of the domestic violence Bill which is promised in the legislative programme.

Has she been able to...

Seán Ó Fearghaíl: I will try to stay away from the statistics, because we can all get a bit bogged down in them, although there are a number of critical statistics that we need to look at.

Order of Business (19 May 2015)

Seán Ó Fearghaíl: I will return to an issue I have raised twice in the House in recent weeks. The Government has yet to make a decision to sign the Istanbul Convention.

Is the Minister, Deputy Bruton, in a better...
