As Minister for Justice and Equality, he has also brought forward many changes in that area, which we should not forget. It is important that this recognition is given. I believe domestic violence, particularly the number of serious incidents in private settings in the past two months, is frightening. The number of stabbings and murders is frightening and is something at which we need to look. However, we also need to look at it in our education system in terms of respect for one another. I am not too sure about whether we are doing enough of that. Regardless of whatever law is put in place, we must also change the culture in that area in some quarters. We need to look at respect for one another in our education system.
