Core funding for domestic violence refuges is provided by the Health Service Executive and the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government funds maintenance costs through the relevant local authority. I also understand that other funding schemes, for which refuges may apply, are run from time to time by State bodies and Government Departments including the Community area of the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government.
