The centre's Annual Report for 2014 – which is being published this morning – shows an increase of 30% in first time callers to its helpline last year.
Over 12,000 people contacted the centre's National 24-hour helpline in 2014, while 215 victims of rape and sexual assault were accompanied by the centre's trained volunteers to the sex assault unit in the Rotunda Hospital.
