I believe that when a victim engages with the justice system, they should know what to expect, be confident they will be treated respectfully and sensitively, know what their legally enforceable rights are and what supports are available at every step in the process.

As the Deputy is aware, my Department is running a campaign to raise awareness of the rights provided for in the Victims of Crime Act 2017 and explained in the Victims Charter, and last month started the second phase on TV and radio, with a particular emphasis on reaching minority and harder-to-reach communities.

In relation to the specific information sought by the Deputy, as the campaign will run until the 19 November the table below outlines the spend until the end of October, the projected November spend, and the total spend expected to the end of the year with RTE in relation to this campaign.
