Joint Oireachtas Committee on Gender Equality

Recommendations of Citizens’ Assembly on Gender Equality: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Seán Cooke:

For me to offer support and supervision to my staff, I cannot draw on the funding that I get from Tusla or the Department of Justice to do that because it is dedicated towards a particular programme of work and output that is required. There needs to be an acknowledgement in terms of funding coming in to organisations that allows them to operate. There are programmes, such as the scheme to support national organisations, SSNO, from Pobal. Unfortunately, we do not have support from that at present. Hopefully, we will be successful in the next round. It would be great. That is the point I wanted to make on that.
