Domestic Violence (Amendment) Bill 2023: Second Stage
Seanad Éireann — 2023-02-15
============================================================

Lynn Ruane (IND), University of Dublin

I thank the Green Party for this legislation. Issues around when a case gets to the court system, are another part of the area of coercive control that we need to address. I was in the Seanad Chamber when coercive control was added to the legislation. It was not easy at the time. A huge amount of work had to happen in the background.
