There were reports on the news last night - I am sure the Deputy saw them - about the 10% surge in domestic violence cases. There are still nine counties without refuges. We also heard that the Garda responded to more than 48,000 calls of instances of domestic abuse and there were over 4,000 criminal charges. This is an everyday occurrence and one can see how bad it is at the moment.

The Deputy touched there on the Organisation of Working Time Act. Will she elaborate on that a small bit? I know she spoke about it a moment ago but I would ask her to speak about it a little more.
