AROUND one in 10 people in the Republic could define themselves a victim of the Troubles, a report on behalf of the Commission for Victims and Survivors in Northern Ireland (CVSNI) has found.
The findings show that four per cent of the population say they have been bereaved as a result of the Troubles, seven per cent say their mental health has been affected by a Troubles or conflict-related incident, and seven per cent say they have been present at, or witnessed, a conflict-related incident.
Of those who said their mental or physical health has been affected by the Troubles, 62 per cent say they continue to be affected.
The CVSNI worked with Social Market Research to replicate some of the questions of a previous survey of people in Northern Ireland in 2021.
NI Victims' Commissioner Ian Jeffers said his office, which was set up in the years after the Good Friday Agreement to address the needs of those affected by the conflict, had initially been focused on the North.
