RTÉ reporter, Evelyn O’Rourke, interviewed staff and volunteers from Victim Support at Court (V-SAC) who explained the practical and emotional support they give to victims when they are due to attend court. Click here to listen to the feature on V-SAC (starting at 1:08:56).
It really highlights the support available to victims of all types of crime, if they want it, and support for the family/friends and witnesses when they come to court.
The feature included an introduction by V-SAC’s General Manager, Dympna Kenny, V-SAC Coordinators – Sara Murphy and Emily Healy – and one of its volunteers – Kevin.
