Ms Ellen O'Malley-Dunlop:

The most comprehensive research ever done in this country was the Sexual Abuse and Violence in Ireland, SAVI, report, which was delivered in 2002. We are hoping a second SAVI report will be undertaken. This would provide us with proper comparative research and a great deal more information, including information as to why this is happening in our society. We have some understanding in that regard, but more is needed. A second SAVI report would be very valuable in terms of informing policy into the future.
