Comment on this
This Government has taken unprecedented actions to tackle all forms of domestic, sexual, and gender-based violence (DSGBV). This includes increasing funding to almost €80 million under Budget 2026, to support Cuan and services working to tackle DSGBV and the implementation of the Zero Tolerance Strategy.
Cuan's annual reports contain a breakdown of funding for Cuan funded services. This can be found on Cuan's publications page on gov.ie, along with the organisation's financial statements: www.gov.ie/en/department-of-justice-home-affairs-and-migration/publications/cuan-publications/#cuan-annual-report-2025
Future budgetary allocations to support Cuan and services working to tackle DSGBV will be considered by Government as part of the annual Estimates process.
