136. Deputy Aindrias Moynihan asked the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth if the review recommendations under the provision of accommodation for victims of domestic violence will be included in the forthcoming publication of the third national strategy on domestic, sexual and gender-based violence; when this publication will be available; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [5421/22]
View answerThe publication of the third national strategy on domestic, sexual and gender-based violence and its final contents is a being led by my colleague the Minister for Justice. The Deputy will be aware from recent statements in the House on Violence Against Women that the strategy will reflect a whole-of-Government commitment and the most ambitious to date.
I understand that the proposed strategy will be published shortly for a final round of consultations. It will address the needs for safe and accessible emergency accommodation, building on the work that Tusla has undertaken and reflecting the findings and recommendations of the Accommodation Review. This will require significant collaborative work across Government Departments, Agencies and the whole of the DSGBV sector.
