Finian McGrath (Dublin North Central, Independent)

I welcome the Minister of State's answer to Question No. 7 on the United Nations Convention on the Rights of People with Disabilities and I urge that the matter be prioritised.

Does the Minister of State share my concern at the lack of an outcry at the Galway abuse report on the sexual abuse of children and adults with intellectual disabilities? These defenceless people were abused for years and it seems many quarters have remained silent on the matter.
