Rape Crisis Ireland: Court support for survivors a 'postcode lottery'

Rape Crisis Ireland reports that support services for rape and sexual assault survivors during court trials vary significantly by region, creating a 'postcode lottery'. The claim highlights uneven access to specialized court accompaniment and advocacy across Ireland, though specific data or regional breakdowns are not provided. This matters as it points to systemic inequities in the justice system's treatment of survivors, potentially influencing policy and resource allocation.
