Amharc ar fhreagra421. Deputy Thomas Pringle asked the Minister for Justice if a funding allocation for the role of client support for an organisation (details supplied) in Donegal will be made again in 2024; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [4113/24]
Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 391 and 421 together.
As 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 it's remit, the agency has responsibility for the provision of DSGBV services, including the provision and funding of refuge spaces and rape crisis centres.
As such, I have referred the questions posed by the Deputy to Cuan for direct reply.
