Domestic violence and alcohol abuse are directly related. In discussing the legal framework within which to deal with domestic violence we must also look at what causes it. We have to be seen to take action by raising awareness through education campaigns to prevent alcohol abuse, a major factor in domestic violence. Christmas is a time of high emotion. It is, equally, a time when barring orders become necessary and are often breached. It is imperative that we, as legislators, enact this Bill to provide those vulnerable in society with the necessary protection of the courts at this time of year. The culture of taking alcohol to celebrate every occasion from birth to death is something we must consider seriously. We must get it right and this is an opportunity to do so.
