Mr. Deaglán Ó Briain:

Very briefly, the issue currently relates to Covid-19 restrictions and the backlog that is building. It will become an issue for us once the restrictions are lifted. There are additional resources in place but a very worrying backlog is building.

The issue of consent is on the agenda in terms of the implementation of the O'Malley report. We will be running an awareness campaign relating to consent along with our partners in the Department of Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science and, in particular, the Dublin Rape Crisis Centre. Research is being conducted regarding the sort of messaging that actually works and how to impact on attitudes in respect of consent. That is on the agenda as well.
