Questions (558)

Luke 'Ming' Flanagan

Question:

558. Deputy Luke 'Ming' Flanagan asked the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs the reason abused men who deal with an organisation (details supplied) are forced to deal with women when the women's refuge does not even let men near their building; her views on whether men with trust issues with women should have to endure this; her further views on whether the stigma attached to reporting is bad enough without this situation; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

My Department has brought this matter to the attention of the HSE, which has an established relationship with the organisation in question, and asked that it provide the Deputy with the information requested as soon as possible.
