Core funding for domestic violence services is provided by Tusla under the aegis of the Department of Children and Youth Affairs.

The funding in the tables above refer in the main to annual funding for services to victims and in particular court accompaniment. These services are ongoing, but organisations apply for funding each year. Also included is funding for awareness raising, which tends to be project based. Again organisations apply on an annual basis. Both schemes are advertised in the national press.

The amount sought by You are Not Alone in 2012 is not available. Offaly Domestic Violence Support Service received slightly more than they applied for in 2013, because a very small additional amount was available for allocation later in the year.

In relation to funding for the domestic violence perpetrator intervention programmes this is negotiated annually with the programme providers before they submit their final proposals for funding. This means that the proposed funding and allocated funding are usually aligned, subject to any funding revisions under the Estimates process. In a number of years allocations were made in a calendar year, but applied to an academic year, so draw downs in the calendar year were greater in two instances than allocations.
