Longford Women's Link to receive €48,667.50 to support victims of crime
Longford Women's Link is to receive €48,667.50 to support victims of crime.
Minister for Justice, Helen McEntee TD, announced funding totalling more than €7.7m for some 70 organisations.
Many of the allocations will be made through the new agency for domestic, sexual and gender based violence Cuan, which was recently opened by the Minister.
LWL is one of the organisations that will fall under the aegis of Cuan.
Minister McEntee said “Victims of crime need supports and services of a high standard, right across the country, and this increased funding, which I secured in the Budget, will ensure that they get that.
“I am delighted too that our new agency Cuan, will be allocating much of the funding to the various organisations.”
Minister McEntee continued, “Its establishment, as well as initiatives such as ‘Supporting a Victim’s Journey’ demonstrates just how committed we are, to building a victim-centred criminal justice system.”
