Joint Oireachtas Committee on Gender Equality
Recommendations of Citizens’ Assembly on Gender Equality: Discussion (Resumed)
Ms Shirley Scott:
I refer to Dr. Saidléar's remarks in respect of multi-annual funding. Such funding is crucial so that one is not always wondering from where the funding will come. It is about being able to meet the demands of the victims and survivors within the various centres. Dr. Saidléar referred to a mapping exercise. If there are 1,000 people awaiting counselling, for example, we need to be able to respond in a timely way to provide the services they need.
