Minister Heather Humphreys said ‘Today is a very proud day for Rape Crisis North East. Today, as you move into your fantastic new building, you take stock of your magnificent work for over 20 years in this region. I hope you will be lucky, happy and successful here and that you will go on making the change – and being the change – in the lives of women, men and young people, who have experienced sexual violence in Monaghan, Cavan , Meath and Louth.
Your hard work and commitment are second-to-none, not alone in the staff and board, but in the volunteers, who have always been the beating heart of Rape Crisis North East. Since 1996, you have provided strong, compassionate environment in which you have helped countless people, keeping them safe while they came to terms with their shattering experience.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for everything you do for this region. Your dedication serves as an example for the rest of the country to follow. I wish you every success and good fortune here in these new premises.
