A Tallaght refuge for women and children fleeing domestic violence is set to close.
The Respond Housing association says it's been bank-rolling the entire operation with no help from the state.
CEO Ned Brennan says the Minister for Children hasn't come through for them.
"The Child and Family Agency say they don't have the funds for a new centre. We have had engagement with the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs who has made a case for additional funds but nothing has been forthcoming," he said.
