Marie Maloney: ...perpetrator will never offend again. We have to deal with the issue of money now. Traditionally, the State and religious organisations have let women and children down. I refer to symphysiotomy, the Magdalen laundries and child sexual abuse. We must not let this issue go on the back burner. We must step up to the plate and make changes in the judicial system now. I do not want others...

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: ...on direct provision yesterday. I also note that Mrs. Justice Catherine McGuinness has echoed the sentiments of myself and other Senators that the direct provision model is a scandal, almost in the league of the scandal of the Magdalen laundries, that is happening on our watch.
