Women's Aid is funded as a Specialist Support Agency for Community Development Projects under my Department's Community Development Programme and provide advice, guidance and training in the area of domestic violence. The amount of funding allocated to Women's Aid between 2006 and 2008 was €594,594. An indicative allocation of €181,041 is available for 2009.

Many other projects funded under the Community Development Programme, while not having a specific domestic violence focus, provide information on this issue.
