I thank the representatives from Dublin Rape Crisis Centre for attending. Submissions from that centre always make for painful reading. We hope that, at some stage, the level of gender violence will decrease and be dealt with in a different manner. However, this has not happened to date. I thank the representatives from the centre for their hard work. Will they talk to me about legal aid, the problems they are encountering and the obstacles to people accessing legal aid?
