Tusla, the Child and Family Agency, has statutory responsibility for the provision of care and protection to victims of domestic, sexual and gender-based violence.

In 2018, Tusla is providing €23.8 million in funding to domestic, sexual and gender-based violence services, an increase of €1.7m over 2017 funding.

I understand that the Deputy's question relates to proposed developments in domestic, sexual and gender-based violence services in 2018 and 2019. I have forwarded the query to Tusla to respond to the Deputy directly on this matter.
