Crime victims’ groups got €1m in funding last year

Forty-five organisations presenting frontline services to victims of crime were granted funding to the tune of more than €1m last year.

The Commission for the Support of Victims of Crime says the groups included the National Crime Victims Helpline, ADVIC, the Federation for Victim Assistance and the Missing in Ireland Support Service.

The commission was established in 2005 to devise an appropriate framework for victims of crime.
