View answerThe scoping group was established by my Department to consider the availability of data and make recommendations on a study to identify the prevalence of sexual abuse and violence in Ireland today, as well as any emerging trends. The group has completed a draft report. Work is currently underway to resolve some technical issues before proposals can be considered by Government. I plan to bring such proposals to Government in the coming weeks. Once the report has been considered by Government, it will be possible to be more specific about its recommendations.
