Combatting all forms of domestic, sexual and gender-based violence (DSGBV) is an absolute priority for me and for this Government.

Under Budget 2025, funding for services to tackle DSGBV was increased to €70m. Since 2020, funding for DSGBV services has tripled.

'Zero Tolerance,' the Third National Strategy on Domestic, Sexual and Gender-based Violence (DSGBV) is this government's ambitious, five-year programme of reform to achieve a society which does not accept DSGBV or the attitudes which underpin these crimes.

Cuan is Ireland’s statutory agency for domestic, sexual and gender-based violence. It works in partnership with the local front-line service providers, local authorities, the Department of Housing and the Housing Agency to achieve the highest standard of support for those who've suffered domestic, sexual and gender-based violence.

As the Deputy's question relates to work being carried out under the remit of Cuan, I have forwarded it to the Agency for direct response.
