On page 26 of A Programme for a Partnership Government, there is a commitment to target new measures for survivors of domestic violence. The Government's Action Plan for Housing states that Tusla "will provide additional emergency refuge spaces so that victims forced to flee the family home often late at night or in the early hours of the morning do not find themselves homeless". Can the Minister tell me when Tusla's 2017 business plan will be published? What level of additional funding will be provided for domestic violence accommodation services and how many new emergency refuge spaces will be provided for those experiencing domestic violence?
