Volunteers being sought in Carlow and Kilkenny to accompany victims to court

Volunteers are being sought in Carlow and Kilkenny to accompany victims to cases in the local district courts.

Victim Support At Court – or VSAC – is a voluntary organisation which offers free support to victims of crime when they’re attending court hearings.

They currently have a permanent presence in the Criminal Courts of Justice in Dublin but are now looking to expand their services into the South East.

They’re looking to build up a team of volunteers in both Carlow and Kilkenny.

Regional Coordinator of VSAC, Niamh Lambert told KCLR News there will be plenty of training provided.
