Domestic Violence (Amendment) Bill 2024: Committee Stage
Seanad Éireann — 2025-07-02
============================================================

Nicole Ryan (SF), Administrative Panel

I thank the Minister of State for the update and for accepting the amendment. It is important for many people who may be watching this debate and for the many families who have been through this. Some families in the House may never have spoken out about such things.
I also thank him for the update on the plan in the programme for Government because I know what it is like for a child to have to go through the courts system, including preparing to testify and do all of those things. It is one of the most harrowing experiences for children have to go through. I am delighted that there will be more supports for children, including a focus on them and how to support them through those systems. I again thank the Minister of State.
