Rape poster exhibition - Garda’s brainchild admirable

THE appalling crime of rape is revealed in all its horror by an exhibition of posters which opened in Dublin yesterday with the aim of heightening public awareness of this most heinous of offences.

Remarkably, the event is the concept of a garda with a professional interest in assisting both male and female victims of domestic violence, rape and sexual assault.

Setting a fine example for others to emulate, Galway garda Colm Dempsey has channelled his professional concern into a personal bid to curb violence against women.
