Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills

Retention of Records Bill 2019: Discussion

Ms Eileen Molloy:

Can I add one last statement? I have seen applications made to the redress board already and I have also seen responses. The redress board is reminding us of the gagging order in no uncertain terms. That is a threat, as far as I am concerned. I do not take lightly to threats, nor do any of us. We were threatened all our lives. Some of us have come away from it and we need to move on rather than backwards. It is mean and nasty. I applied and I got no such letter, not because I am vocal about it, but obviously somebody pulled the board up on this and it has decided to take this away. It is not nice.
