The Dublin Rape Crisis Centre received almost 24,000 calls to its National Helpline in 2025, according to the charity's annual report published on Tuesday.

The 23,955 contacts marked a 5.5% increase compared with 2024, which the charity said was one of the busiest years ever recorded by the organisation.
