That may be the case when a victim decides to make first contact and make a complaint, but this follows through in the rest of the legislation, for example, the interview stages in sections 11 and 13. Is the Minister of State saying that, when a victim makes a complaint, gives a statement and is interviewed by a garda, it is open to him or her to leave and find an alternative if the person who is with him or her is asked to leave during the interview stage?
