Amharc ar fhreagraTusla, the Child and Family Agency provides funding and coordination supports to some 59 organisations that deliver a range of services to victims of domestic, sexual and gender based violence throughout the country.
In 2019, €25.3 million is being allocated to Domestic, Sexual and Gender Based Violence services, an increase of €1.5 million over 2018.
I have requested Tusla to respond directly to the Deputy on the specific matters raised with regard to refuge centres for women.
