The abuses that Deputy O'Dowd has raised are illegal. Abuse, whether sexual, physical or financial, would be the subject of criminal investigations. Such abuse is very serious and probably covered already under statute. Will Mr. Moran link those issues to today's theme, which is the UN convention, rather than getting into specifics?
