The issue of funding for Rape Crisis Network Ireland arose last year. It was due to the action of this side of the House that funding was restored. It was due to the action of a number of people, particularly Senators Bacik and van Turnhout, who made much of Rape Crisis Network Ireland and the great work it does. If Senator O'Brien wants to achieve something for Rape Crisis Network Ireland that is fair enough but if he simply wants to position Fianna Fáil as champions on the issue then that is a different matter.
