Bernard Durkan (FG), Kildare North

As the previous speaker stated, this is about the fear generated by some of the activities that have gone on unknown to the public. It is the fear of women who are obviously in constant fear of being attacked, and unfortunately these attacks have happened horrendously. Some of the cases are so bad that to allow anything even remotely associated to continue indefinitely is wrong. I know the Tánaiste is committed to this. I ask that everything possible be done in the shortest possible time to ensure we do not have this culture indefinitely.
