10:00 am
Finian McGrath (Dublin North Central, Independent) | Oireachtas source
I thank and commend all of the groups for their submissions. People regularly say to us that victims are often completely forgotten about when we are dealing with the issue of crime.
Ms Doherty and Ms Long touched on the issue of child victims of crime and Ms Long talked about one particular incident. There are horrific consequences for young children who witness or are victims of crime. My question to the Children's Rights Alliance and the ISPCC is what are the two key things that can help them? I do not want to hear about the legislation, information or details of the progression of the case in the legislation.
