Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 26 July 2017
1465. Deputy Róisín Shortall asked the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs if her Department will contribute to the funding of a second Sexual Abuse and Violence in Ireland study as has been recommended; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [36640/17]
View answerI believe that the first report on Sexual Abuse and Violence in Ireland (SAVI 1) made a valuable contribution to our understanding of the area. As I stated in my PQ response of 11 May, I am supportive, in principle, of an appropriate follow-up study, and I will pursue this further with the Minister for Justice and Equality, who leads on this area.
