Domestic Violence (Amendment) Bill, 2002: Second Stage.
There is also a commentary on the Law Society's report by AMEN, an organisation which speaks in defence of men who have been respondents in domestic violence cases, that there should be a category of "associated persons" who would be entitled to apply for a safety order and a non-exhaustive list of such persons should be provided. Another proposal is that "associated persons" with sole ownership or tenancy rights in the home should be entitled to apply for a barring order.
