No date for opening of West Cork domestic abuse unit

No date has been given for the opening of a unit for victims of domestic abuse, trafficking, and sexual assault in West Cork, despite repeated promises.

Victims groups are hugely frustrated that there is no sign of the promised Protective Services Unit which had been due to open in late 2017.

Fianna Fáil TD Margaret Murphy O’Mahony has twice pressed Justice Minister Charlie Flanagan in the Dáil in recent weeks, however, he has still not given a date for the establishment of the service.
