View answerIn June 2025, Cuan entered into a contract with the National Women’s Council of Ireland who also Chair the National Observatory on Violence Against Women. Cuan provided funding to the National Women’s Council to commission research on the prospective development of structures to enable the lived experience of victim-survivors of DSGBV to inform policy and service response in Ireland.
The final report, which was based on consultations with victim-survivors and their representative groups, the DSGBV sector, and civil and public servants, respectively, was launched at the end of April.
The total sum of funding agreed was €30,000, to be paid in 3 instalments of €12,000 and €9,000 and €9,000. As of 27 February 2026, the first two instalments of this funding were paid to the National Women’s Council of Ireland. Now that the report has been launched, the final invoice will be paid on receipt.
