Cosc has closed

Cosc was the National Office for the Prevention of Domestic, Sexual and Gender-based Violence, part of the Department of Justice. It no longer exists. Since 1 January 2024, this work has been done by Cuan, the state agency for domestic, sexual and gender-based violence.

This website is not run by the Government, Cosc or Cuan. The old cosc.ie address was released and is now privately owned. None of Cosc's reports or services are offered here.
