Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

General Scheme of the Criminal Justice (Victims of Crime) Bill: Discussion

10:00 am

Ms Ellen O'Malley-Dunlop:

As well as the indirect victims being further traumatised, we must also ensure that re-victimisation does not happen. We believe that victims who are traumatised as a consequence of sexual violence also need to have the special supports that are available.
