Minister for Justice Helen McEntee today formally opened Cuan, the new Domestic, Sexual and Gender Based Violence (DSGBV) Agency.
Joined by Minister Roderic O’Gorman and Minister of State James Browne, Minister McEntee also announced the appointment of Dr. Stephanie O’Keeffe as Cuan’s CEO, following an open competition run by the Public Appointments Service.
Speaking at the opening, Minister McEntee said:
"Today is a proud day for all who were involved in bringing Cuan to life.
"The establishment of a dedicated statutory DSGBV agency has been a priority of mine and I am confident that Cuan will be the driving force we need to ensure we deliver the initiatives and changes which will get us to a place of zero tolerance across society for all forms of domestic, sexual and gender based violence."
