I do. There is some commentary, correctly, on the worrying trend relating to sexual crimes and the reporting of same. The funding for Rape Crisis Network Ireland, which provides support for the various rape crisis centres, is very modest at less than €100,000. Has that been considered for any increases? More generally, is there proposal to increase funding for rape crisis centres? Does the Attorney General's office fall within this subhead?
