61. To ask the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the actions his Department has taken to allow for the implementation of the Istanbul convention; if his Department has any engagement with the Department of Justice and Equality on this matter; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform has no policy role in relation to the implementation of the Istanbul Convention. The matter is primarily for the Minister for Justice and Equality and, I understand, a number of other Ministers whose policy remit is also relevant to the provisions of the Convention.
