I assume that the Deputy's question relates solely to institutional and religious abuse and on that basis I wish to inform the Deputy that funding was provided by my Department to enable One in Four to provide support to victims of abuse, including victims dealing with the Commission of Investigation into the Dublin Archdiocese and the Diocese of Cloyne. One in Four subsequently reported on how the funding was used and the breakdown is as follows:

2006 - €34,000

2007 - €45,000

2008 - €60,000

2009 - €60,000
