Our law makes provision in this regard but, unfortunately, the woman or girl in that situation is probably not aware of that. If she wants to invoke the law, she has to go to a court where she will have to reveal her identity. She will have to describe the events that took place so there will probably be a report about in the newspaper, which would put her off. Does Ms Counihan agree?
