I ask the Department to come back to us with a note on the plan for rolling out domestic violence refuges in those nine counties. Offaly has a different plan, by the way, although I do not want to go into it in detail. Offaly has a plan that involves three locations and it is trying to operate a different system for domestic violence. That is the plan going forward and it has been shared with me. Nonetheless, we badly need one refuge for the two counties of Laois and Offaly.
