Minister for Justice, Home Affairs and Migration

Combatting 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 and for this Government.

I am advised that plans are underway for the development of an eight-unit purpose-built refuge in County Roscommon and work is progressing on this. Cuan has established a local Stakeholder Group to lead and support the development of the accommodation. This group includes representation from Roscommon Safe Link, Roscommon County Council, Cuan, Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, the Housing Agency and Sonas. I am further advised that site feasibility is being completed on a potential site.

As this ongoing work falls under the remit of Cuan, I have also forwarded the Deputy's query to the Agency for direct response.
