Over €62,000 is on the The Domestic Violence Advocacy Service (DVAS), which covers Leitrim.
While Longford Women's Link is to be in receipt of €8,716.
It's hoped the funding will service provision, improving access to supports, and ensuring that survivors of domestic, sexual and gender-based violence can access help when and where they need it.
