682. Deputy Michael McCarthy asked the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs if she will provide a breakdown of the funding allocations from the Department for Women's Aid services in each county in 2011, 2012, 2013 and to date in 2014; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [18827/14]
View answerThere are three separate and distinct Women's Aid organisations funded by the Child and Family Agency which provide services in the area of domestic violence.
