Teach Tearmainn will be allocated €43,260.
Teach Tearmainn, which provides domestic violence supports to women and children in Kildare and West Wicklow, is set to receive a funding boost.
The Department of Justice has this week distributed €7.7m between 70 organisations nationwide to continue to provide aid to victims of crime.
Teach Tearmainn will be allocated €43,260.
Announcing the funding, Justice Minister Helen 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."
Teach Tearmainn consists of 4 self-contained refuge units which accommodate 4 families who are fleeing their homes as a result of domestic violence and abuse.
The recipients of the funding span a diverse array of organisations, including national entities such as the Dublin Rape Crisis Network, Women's Aid, Men's Aid, and Safe Ireland.
