Charlie McConalogue (Donegal North East, Fianna Fail)

We will deal with the HSE in a further question coming down the line. In fact, we have been waiting for that for six years.

However, I disagree entirely with the Minister that we should be waiting any longer and that those victims, who were abused and who were outlined in the reports we received in the past few weeks, should have to wait. The public, members of the church and, in particular, victims are tired of this drip feed of reports. We need a comprehensive way that will deal with it, once and for all. That demands nothing less than a State commission which can, from the State's point of view, assess where these victims were failed.
