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

Anne Rabbitte (CC), Nominated by the Taoiseach

I thank Senator Harmon. I welcome the Crumlin-Drimnagh group to the Gallery. I also see John Bourke, chairman of WALK, which is a fantastic disability organisation. He is accompanied by Deputy Ardagh.
This also gives me the opportunity to thank Sarah Benson, the chief executive of Women's Aid, for being here for all the contributions today on the Bill and the very important amendment. It is great the Government has accepted it. Most speakers have used Women's Aid statistics in the context of their local area. I thank Sarah Benson and all her colleagues for their work within Women's Aid.
