Dublin Rape Crisis Centre reports increase in contacts following Ballinrobe St Patrick’s Day display referencing Jeffrey Epstein
The National Rape Crisis helpline saw a jump in calls this week after a float related to the Epstein Files was featured in a St Patrick's Day parade.
The organisers of the Ballinrobe parade in Mayo were forced to apologise after footage of the float emerged online.
It shows people being chased by characters in masks with references to the convicted sex offender Jeffery Epstein.
Rachel Morrogh from the Dublin Rape Crisis Centre says there have been real world consequences:
