Image: Leah Farrell HEALTH MINISTER SIMON Harris has said he is extremely concerned about the presentations to sexual assault treatment units during special events such as Freshers’ week in universities.

The six SATUs provide 24/7 medical and psychological care to victims of sexual assault, 365 days a year, working in close collaboration with the Rape Crisis Centres and An Garda Síochána. Harris said the increase could be down to more people coming forward and more people reporting legacy cases, both of which are to be welcomed, he said.

He welcomed his ministerial colleague, Minister Mary Mitchell O’Connor stating today that she plans to bring forward new plans in the coming weeks to deal with the area of sexual consent, particularly in Ireland’s third-level institutions.“I congratulate the Minister for Health on this policy review and the focus it brings to our national response to sexual assault. Education is fundamental to the prevention of sexual violence.

Harris paid tribute to Dominique Meehan, who previously highlighted that she had to travel to the Mullingar unit when the Dublin unit was unavailable.

So long as he doesn't try to 'fix' it with one of his 'plans' that will probably end up with free treatment for something or other, no doctors available to do the work and others dying because of his ineptitude. Useless fucking hoor.

He never got to college from what I believe .....................not that he would have had much opportunity to catch anything if he did
