That this Council calls on the Minister for Justice & Equality, to create further legislative measures to protect women who are the victim of domestic violence.  Furthermore, for other relevant departments to commit to increasing funding for frontline services.  Although, there has been significant changes over the past number of decades in relation to domestic violence in Ireland, women are still not protected enough in their homes.  Ireland still has one of the highest rates in all of the countries in Europe for not meeting women’s needs when they seek assistance after the most serious incidents of violence by a partner.   Assault is a crime under Irish law; however, Domestic Violence is often treated differently.

Motion
Meeting:
Submitted by:
Councillor P. Gogarty
Responsibility:
Teresa Walsh

That this Council, given the ongoing confusion and public anger over the rollout of Irish Water - and recognising the limits of representative democracy in this instance - calls on the Government to organise a referendum on all aspects of water provision to allow the public have a direct say in how water services are paid for and managed and how water conservation can be encouraged, which would facilitate an open and honest debate about the cost of water and related services, the state of the public finances and the advantages and disadvantages of broadening the tax base as a means to help avoid the mistakes of the past being repeated. Such a referendum should give the people a number of choices such as whether water charges should be implemented or not; whether measures to solely encourage conservation, with a generous free allowance, would be a better option; and also give clarity as to whether any privatisation of Irish water services should be permitted by allowing the people to adjudicate on the matter. Such a referendum could also be linked in with other related public health issues that require input and debate, such as the merits of continuing with water fluoridation.
