Taoiseach backs new support scheme for Cork's homeless victims of rape
Mary Crilly, Sexual Violence Centre Cork, said that the Taoiseach had acknowledged that homeless women had been ignored and forgotten in the debate about homelessness.
The Taoiseach is to facilitate a pilot scheme which will offer help and protection to homeless victims of rape and sexual violence in Cork.
Micheál Martin promised his support for the scheme during a meeting in Cork Penny Dinners with its co-ordinator Caitriona Twomey and with Mary Crilly, founder Cork's Sexual Violence Centre.
