Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 24 July 2018
878. Deputy Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the amount provided by his Department to rape crisis centres each year for the past ten years; and the services and supports provided from this funding by each centre or project. [33752/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraDetails of the funding amount provided by my Department to rape crisis centres each year for the past ten years; and the services and supports provided from this funding by each centre or project are provided in the enclosed tables. Grants for awareness raising activities ceased to be paid to individual non-governmental organisations from 2016 onwards arising from a call from them for a national campaign to be held which commenced in 2016.
My Department does not have information on the funding provided by other Government Departments to the sector. As the Deputy will be aware, Tusla is the main funder of domestic and sexual violence services. Tusla is providing €23.8m for these services in 2018.
