lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, those who are resisting the notion of increasing the budget in this House should ponder one very stark statistic. Up until August 2003, 92 women in Ireland were killed over the previous 92 months: one woman per month on average dies in Ireland as a result of so-called domestic disputes. That is only the tip of the iceberg, because there are thousands of women and children and young people who are being abused constantly. It behoves us to take this matter seriously. I have no doubt that those who have spoken here regard it as a serious matter. It is important to recognise that DAPHNE has been one of the most successful European projects. It has made a real change to real people's lives in all of the Member States. People are alive today who would not be alive if this programme did not exist. I would appeal to the Members to bear this in mind when they are voting tomorrow in relation to this question of increasing the budget. I cannot accept that it is impossible for us to find an additional EUR 15 million in the vast budget that we will be approving here in a short period of time. It is there: what is missing is the will to search and to find it. Finally, I want to make the point that this issue is not the same as the issue of violence between strangers. This is an issue of violence between people who at some point must have loved each other. It is a question of power and how power is abused. We also have to address that in a serious way if we are to get to the root of this problem."@en1
