Any person who wishes to make a complaint regarding a crime of child abuse should contact their local Garda station. Garda District Officers (Superintendents) have overall responsibility for investigations within their respective areas and direct appropriate investigations into allegations of such abuse which are as comprehensive and prompt as possible. The Commission for the Support of Victims of Crime, which operates under the aegis of my Department, provides funding for Barnardos and Children at Risk in Ireland (CARI). Barnardos can be contacted on (01) 453 0355 and www.barnardos.ie. CARI can be contacted on their helpline 1 890 924567 or www.cari.ie.
