Domestic Violence

============================================================

Naoise Ó Muirí (FG), Dublin Bay North

I thank Deputy Bennett for raising the question and commend the Minister for his work in this area. It is a difficult area, most of all for the women dealing with issues.
I want to ask a question. I have heard from people working with women that Cuan seems in the main to work within a 12-week window. Many of the issues women are dealing with, including difficult situations at home, require more than 12 weeks to work out. I am familiar with a facility in Killester where women were for a year or more trying to resolve issues and getting the help they so badly needed. Could the Minister comment on the strategy of Cuan? How is it meant to work?
