Question 295: To ask the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform his plans to amend the law in relation to rape, in order that victims would not have to make a face to face identification of their attackers, but could do so in a way that was less traumatic for the victim; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
