My Department has not received an application for funding to date in respect of a Domestic Violence Refuge for the Cavan/Monaghan area. However, that area has been identified in the recently published Tusla 'Review of Accommodation Services for Victims of Domestic, Sexual and Gender-based Violence' as one where new refuge places are needed as a priority.
Accordingly, my Department looks forward to working with stakeholders in advancing such a project for this area and I can assure the Deputy that the capital development funding is in place to support the earliest possible delivery.
