As the Minister of State is aware, the Government's third national strategy on domestic, sexual and gender-based violence, DSGBV, commits to doubling the number of refuge spaces. That ambitious strategy is very welcome. My counties of Cavan and Monaghan are two of the counties that do not have a domestic violence refuge centre, so I am very anxious that such provision be advanced as quickly as possible. The last update I had some time ago was that a number of sites in both counties were being considered. What stage is the proposed project for Cavan-Monaghan at? Are there preferred sites or has a site been chosen yet?
