Cosc, my Department's National Office for the Prevention of Domestic, Sexual and Gender-based Violence, actively contributed to all stages of the drafting process in relation to the Council of Europe Convention on Preventing and Combating Violence against Women and Domestic Violence. I welcome the opening for signature of the Convention and I anticipate that the question of signature by Ireland will be submitted to the Government in the near future.
