I am aware of the Istanbul Convention on Preventing and Combating Violence against Women and Domestic Violence. My Department was represented at the July 2014 meeting of the Council of Europe Inter-Departmental Group at which the Department of Justice and Equality gave an update on the status of Ireland’s ratification of the Istanbul Convention. I am not aware of any matters within my area of responsibility that impact implementation of the Convention.
