THE IRISH PRESIDENCY has secured an agreement with the European Parliament on behalf of EU member states, on improving protection for victims of domestic violence.
Final discussions were held between the parliament and the Council of Ministers in Brussels yesterday to reach an agreement on regulation for the European Protection Order. This regulation will ensure that a civil protection order, such as a barring order for domestic violence, can still be enforced if the victim travels, or moves, from one member state to another.
Minister for Justice, Equality and Defence Alan Shatter said the agreement will enable victims to have continuity of protection under the law which will make travel or relocation a reality for many of them for the first time.
The proposed agreement will now be presented to member state ambassadors for their approval and to the Justice and Home Affairs Council, chaired by Shatter, which will take place in Brussels early next month.

Not to be a spoil sport but- I was always told it’s illegal to collect frogspawn?
@Kevin Hill: me also
@Colin Keogh: for educational purposes its aloud as far as I know
@Kevin Hill: It is here but schools are allowed for educational purposes. This was in NI.
@Kevin Hill: they were on ground that was drying so were going to die. Did the same myself in early march and have a few thousand tadpoles in a pond which I’ll be releasing as soon as they are frogs. Could have been famous too!
@Kevin Hill: ah whisht you
She’s delightful ! At least she didn’t waste her COVID months in and out of the off license unlike some …ahem
Illegal… Jesus every child the far side of the red cow collected tadpoles as a kid, and caught bees in a jam jar.
Jesus I’ve been doing this for years, because frogs return to the same spot every year to spawn so they generally spawn in drainage ditches near us which end up drying up. So we collect them, rear them and release them in a nature reserve near us also. Never thought to put it on the internet. Guess I missed my five minutes of fame.
The world we live in now everything is a sensation.
That’s more than a jar of frogspawn, I hope they will be released eventually
