DRCC Submission to Oireachtas Justice Committee on Agency Bill

This submission is based on the draft General Scheme for the Agency Bill published in March 2023, our understanding of the TNS and the recognition of the functions outlined above for the Agency by the Department which, if permitted the resources and systems that are required, will seriously help to counteract and probably reduce the epidemic of DSGBV that is currently so prevalent in Ireland. It will also help to meet Ireland’s compliance with its international human rights treaty obligations.
