My Department has received a formal proposal from the Dublin Rape Crisis Centre for a second Sexual Assault and Violence in Ireland (SAVI) research project. I subsequently met with the Dublin Rape Crisis Centre (DRCC) to discuss these proposals. The proposal recognises that, given the significant budget of approximately €1m required, funding would be divided between four Departments, namely the Department of Justice and Equality and the Departments of Children and Youth Affairs, Education and Skills and Health.

I wrote to the relevant Ministers on this matter. Upon receipt of all responses, options will be considered.
