Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 7 February 2024
352. Deputy Violet-Anne Wynne asked the Minister for Justice further to Parliamentary Question No. 301 of 25 January 2024, if any Cuan safe homes were delivered in County Clare; if not, will any housing supports be delivered to support Clare Haven services refuge in Clare for 2024/2025; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [5305/24]
View answerAs the Deputy is aware, earlier this year the Government established Cuan, a new statutory agency with a dedicated focus on Domestic Sexual and Gender-Based Violence.
The agency has a specific mandate to drive the implementation of the Zero Tolerance: Third National Strategy on Domestic, Sexual and Gender-Based Violence across Government, bringing the expertise and focus required to tackle this complex social issue. As part of its remit, the agency has responsibility for the provision of DSGBV services, including the provision and funding of refuge spaces and rape crisis centers.
As such, I have referred the questions posed by the Deputy to Cuan for direct reply.
