Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 20 January 2015
164. Deputy Niall Collins asked the Taoiseach 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. [2494/15]
View answerThe Taoiseach's Department has no role in the implementation of the articles or issues in the Istanbul Convention and therefore has not engaged with the Department of Justice and Equality. The implementation of the Convention is a matter for the Minister for Justice and Equality, who along with a number of other Departments hold functional responsibility.
