Vol. 513 No. 4

Written Answers. - Domestic Violence.

Jan O'Sullivan

Ceist:

69 Ms O'Sullivan asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the action, if any, his Department will take to implement the recommendations of the safety and sanctions report concerning domestic violence issues, including monitoring of and intervention programmes for offenders; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2528/00]

My Department is currently examining the proposals in the report entitled, Safety and Sanctions, Domestic Violence and the Enforcement of Law in Ireland.

As the Deputy will appreciate, the proposals contained in the report are very detailed and impinge on a number of relevant Government Departments, the Garda Síochána, the Courts Service and the health boards.

Discussions have already been held with Women's Aid in relation to the recommendations contained in the report and further discussions are planned.
