Domestic Violence
Dail Éireann — 2021-10-21
============================================================

Jennifer Murnane O'Connor (FF), Carlow-Kilkenny

I appreciate being able to raise this important issue with the Minister for Justice, Deputy Humphreys. Domestic violence continues to be a pervasive problem in our society. Nearly 15% of women between the ages of 18 and 74 have experienced physical and sexual violence in their lifetime and nearly 31% have experienced psychological violence. Could the Minister outline the enhanced supports that budget 2022 will provide to tackle domestic, sexual and gender-based violence?
