Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs
Women's Aid Impact Report 2018: Discussion
Joan Freeman (Independent) | Oireachtas source
It is horrifying to listen to the facts presented, many of which I could not even absorb. I have just two brief questions. Ms Martin stated that there is little or no service available to children when they witness violence in the home. What services are available and what needs to be done in this regard?
I know that our guests represent Women's Aid and that this is about women, but children also witness violence in the home where the female is the perpetrator. Do our guests have any information about this? If there is an organisation that deals with it, does it come together with Women's Aid, again for the child's sake?
