Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills

Management and Operations of Caranua: Discussion

9:30 am

Mr. Tom Cronin:

Reference was made to having meetings throughout the country. That is a good start. The media could be used and there would be an open forum for every survivor of institutional abuse, irrespective of whether they are in a supporter group. There would be representation from people like ourselves and officials from the various Departments, and perhaps some politicians. They could come along to the meetings and hear what the survivors are saying for themselves. They could then act and help those survivors.
