Ms Angela McCarthy:

I will answer because I am the head of clinical services. The Deputy might imagine that every day of the week we meet people who might be the children of rapists. That would rarely happen. I do not know if it has ever happened. If they did come through the door, they would be as welcome as anyone else. The Deputy might imagine that we give advice to people every day of the week in relation to abortion. As the statistics in our longer submission show, we made two referrals in 2016 to the Crisis Pregnancy Agency. I do not know what the Deputy's picture is of the Rape Crisis Centre. Basically, we provide counselling to victims of sexual violence. That is the bottom line of what we do. If someone rings our helpline and says they think that they might be pregnant or they wish to get advice around pregnancy issues, we do not deal with that ourselves - we, properly, refer them to the Crisis Pregnancy Agency. That is our role.
