476. To ask the Minister for Justice and Equality when the draft General Scheme of the consolidated Bill on domestic violence will be published; if she envisages that it will be published before the summer recess; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [23798/15]

I am currently finalising legislative proposals on the draft General Scheme of the Consolidated and Reformed Domestic Violence Legislation which I plan to bring to Government shortly. It is my plan, subject to necessary approval of Government, to publish the General Scheme before the summer recess. I would then intend to forward the draft General Scheme to the Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality for pre-legislative scrutiny.
