Catherine Murphy (Kildare North, Independent)

Understanding the relationship between the schools and how abuse took place is important. Will the Minister reconsider allowing the Department of Education and Science to provide copies of material regarding special schools to the National Archives of Ireland, which does not have material from special schools because it is being used for the redress board? Copies rather than originals could be supplied. It is very important that as much information as possible is put into the public arena to maximise protection and understand the relationship between the State and those schools.
