- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Online Harassment and Harmful Communications: Discussion (Resumed) (23 Oct 2019)
Catherine Connolly: I thank the representatives from Dublin Rape Crisis Centre for attending. Submissions from that centre always make for painful reading. We hope that, at some stage, the level of gender violence will decrease and be dealt with in a different manner. However, this has not happened to date.
