A magnificent new building in Maudlintown, County Wexford, is soon to be the new home of a women’s refuge. If I could get a response to my question in writing, I would be happy. Is there a guarantee that funding will be available to provide safe and accessible services to women and children who are victims and survivors of domestic, sexual and gender-based violence?

Will there be funding to ensure the operational costs are fully covered and that the refuge is sustainable? The refuge service should not have to go out with buckets to fill the funding gaps.
