Increased Calls to Dublin Rape Crisis Centre Amid Conor McGregor Case
The Dublin Rape Crisis Centre reported a 17% increase in calls during the high-profile civil case against Conor McGregor. Chief Executive Rachel Morrogh noted a staggering 50% rise in first-time callers, many of whom expressed distress over the media coverage and details disclosed during the trial. The case’s civil nature, which lacks the anonymity typically afforded in criminal cases, has led to heightened public interest and concern among survivors of sexual violence, according to Morrogh.
