Ms Áine Breathnach:

There are some statistics available on cases that have proceeded to court. My understanding is that, in 2017, approximately 127 sexual assault cases and 116 rape cases went to court. Those figures provide a general picture of the cases proceeding to court. We consider that a low number of cases but that is what is there at the moment.

Mr. Purcell talked about the uptake of legal representation when sexual history comes into play. The number of people who have accessed legal representation has increased from 26 to 48. Where services-----
