Vol. 495 No. 7
455 Ms Shortall asked the Minister for Health and Children if he will release funding for an organisation (details supplied) in County Meath in view of the fact that it has been in contact with over 2000 men; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [21771/98]
456 Ms Shortall asked the Minister for Health and Children the funding his Department has allocated in the past three years to counter domestic abuse of men; to whom this funding was allocated; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [21772/98]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 455 and 456 together.
Financial assistance for voluntary organisations and support groups is a matter for the health boards and any request for assistance should be addressed to the relevant health board.
My Department has not allocated any specific funding in the last three years to counter domestic abuse of men.
