Financial Services and Pensions Ombudsman (Amendment) Bill 2023: Committee Stage
Seanad Éireann — 2025-04-01
============================================================

Patricia Stephenson (SD), Labour Panel

I thank the Minister of State for the response. Really what I am talking about here is specifically how it relates to detection when we talk about an holistic response to domestic violence. I know it might fall traditionally for the Garda to respond to instances of domestic violence, but there is an onus on all different types of State-funded institutions to play a part in detection of that, whether that is vulnerable adults in terms of elder abuse or whether that is victims of domestic violence. There is a role to be played in respect of that training component, and that is what I was referring to specifically as opposed to the code of conduct.
