The Minister will recall that back in 2002, the Dublin Rape Crisis Centre sponsored a national study of sexual abuse and violence in Ireland. It was a survey of some 3,000 men and women. The Dublin Rape Crisis Centre was able to sponsor that report because of funding from central Government at the time. The work was carried out by the Department of Psychology in the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland. Will the Minister give a commitment that there will be further funding for another survey and what is the current position in respect of a second SAVI report?
