Eamon Gilmore (Dún Laoghaire, Labour)

There have not been reductions. There are no plans to reduce funding to front line services. The Government will ensure that appropriate funding is available to provide adequate front line services to victims of domestic violence.

Legislation is being considered as part of the Government's overall legislative programme. I cannot put my hand on the particular legislation to which the Deputy referred but I will respond directly to her on that matter.
