The Justice Minister says the level of sexual violence in Ireland is still ‘disturbing’.
Frances Fitzgerald was speaking as she launched the Dublin Rape Crisis CentreÂ’s annual report for 2014 - which shows a 30 per cent rise in the number of new callers.
DRCC says 24 per cent of all contacts are now made by men - and it’s calling on the Government to reverse cuts to its funding.
Frances Fitzgerald says sheÂ’s pleased that people are coming forward - but sheÂ’s disturbed by the level rape and sexual assaults.
