Vol. 407 No. 1
213 Mr. Bell asked the Minister for Justice if he has any plans to update the law in relation to the substantial increase in domestic violence; the regulations or criteria which are applied in these circumstances by the Garda; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
Any legislative proposals which I may have in connection with domestic violence or related matters will be announced in the ordinary way in due course.
With regard to the Garda approach, I would refer the Deputy to the detailed response I gave in reply to a parliamentary question on 6 March last on this matter (column 106 et. seq. of the Official Report).
