Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 17 December 2014
65. Deputy Niall Collins asked the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation 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 [48576/14]
View answerI 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.
