Dublin Rape Crisis Centre expects helpline 'to be very busy' over Christmas

Dublin Rape Crisis Centre CEO, Rachel Morrogh, said that last year the freephone National Rape Crisis Helpline supported a caller every hour over Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and St Stephens Day.
Christmas can be a dreaded time of year for victims of sexual violence, the Dublin Rape Crisis Centre (DRCC) has warned as it appeals to people who need support to reach out.
The charity is expecting greater numbers of people than last year to seek its support over the festive period.
