Seanad debates

Wednesday, 9 October 2002

There has been a very serious development today in the Supreme Court where a section of the 1996 Domestic Violence Act in relation to interim barring orders has been struck down as unconstitutional. There are approximately 1,000 interim barring currently outstanding and it is important that their status be established immediately. I ask the Leader of the House to seek immediate clarification. If amending legislation is required, it should be brought before the House as a matter of urgency.
