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:
I referred to the SAVI report and the extent of sexual violence. We know that more people are coming forward and reporting the crime. Until we have a second SAVI report and a proper comparison, we will not know whether there is an escalation in the prevalence or more people coming forward. It is really important to have the research to follow up.
