A commitment was made in the programme for Government to enhance the services of the Department of Justice and Equality. With regard to the modernisation and renewal programme and particularly the protective services unit, when will the protective services unit in west Cork be established? The Women Against Violence group in west Cork was told that the unit would be up and running by the end of 2017. This has not happened. It is yet another missed target and broken promise. Can the Minister or the Taoiseach give a definite date for when the unit will be up and running?
