Mary Lou McDonald (Dublin Central, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

Let it be said that all of the protections which now exist and are contemplated are a direct result of brave people like Louise O'Keeffe stepping forward. Can the Tánaiste answer my question? I asked him whether the Taoiseach's apology and his apology extends to all victims of abuse in primary schools. I would like to hear him say clearly that his Government and the State now fully accept that the State has a liability for the abuse suffered by all of these survivors and that it has a liability for any current or future instances of abuse of that nature.
