Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 16 July 2013
881. Deputy Mary Lou McDonald asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if he is considering the inclusion of a provision requiring permanent or temporary interference with property rights for the common good in the consolidated and reformed domestic violence legislation his Department is to progress when other legislative priorities in his Department have been disposed of. [34447/13]
View answerI refer the Deputy to my response to the Topical Issues Debate on Domestic Violence on Wednesday, 12 June last. The topic was raised by the Deputy, along with Deputy Mary Mitchell O'Connor.
I indicated during my concluding comments in that debate that I intended to further explore the issue of barring a perpetrator of domestic violence from the home when consolidating the legislation in this area. That remains my intention.
