Domestic, Sexual and Gender-based Violence
Seanad Éireann — 2026-04-28
============================================================

Anne Rabbitte (FF), Nominated by the Taoiseach

I thank the Cathaoirleach for his leniency on this particular matter. I thank the Minister for being here. I thank all the Senators who throughout last October contributed to this Bill when it was brought forward. While there was a time delay amendment on it, the Minister worked furiously to ensure it was not dragged out. The Minister and his team have ensured we are here today talking about travel supports. The first step forward when a person decides to leave their home is that they have a next-step plan.
