Calls For A Full Investigation Following Pauw Revelations

FAI in full support of Ireland women's head coach

There are calls for a full investigation after the Republic of Ireland women's manager alleged she was raped when she was a player in the Netherlands.

The Football Association of Ireland have given Vera Pauw their full support after she released a statement about the incident.

The 59 year old Dutch coach opened up on the issue in a lengthy statement on social media, saying her complaints were not properly dealt with by the Netherlands FA.

CEO of the Dublin Rape Crisis Centre, Noeline Blackwell, says victims often blame themselves even though it is never their fault:

MEP and former Minister for Justice and Frances Fitzgerald says Pauw  is 'incredibly courageous' to speak out.
