Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 15 January 2026
452. Deputy David Cullinane asked the Minister for Justice, Home Affairs and Migration the funding allocated to domestic, sexual and gender-based violence services in County Waterford in each year 2020 to 2025; and the number of refuge spaces available, in tabular form. [3014/26]
View answerCombatting all forms of domestic, sexual and gender-based violence (DSGBV) and ensuring that victims and survivors receive the support and care they need are absolute priorities for me.
Since its establishment in 2024, Cuan the DSGBV Agency, has been working to accelerate the delivery of safe accommodation across the country, in line with the Government’s Zero Tolerance DSGBV Strategy. Cuan is now responsible for coordinating all Government actions set out in the Strategy and has a dedicated team in place to support the development of domestic violence refuges.
As this question relates to work being carried out by Cuan, I have referred it to the agency for direct response.
