More than €300,000 in funding for domestic violence refuges services

In 2021 Galway received €1,574,110 for the provision of refuge for victims of domestic violence

An increase of more than €300,000 in funding was provided for domestic violence refuge services in Galway last year.

In 2021 the Government allocated €1,574,110 in funding for the provision of refuge for victims of domestic violence, an increase of €360,219 on the previous year. The increase was welcomed by Minister of State and Fianna Fáil TD for Galway East, Anne Rabbitte.

“The scourge of domestic, sexual and gender-based violence, and its trail of destruction must continue to be tackled with victims protected and supported,” she said. “I believe this funding will go some way in doing so. It is my ambition, and the ambition of my colleagues in Government, that everyone who needs a refuge space will get one.”
