Catherine Connolly (Galway West, Independent) | Oireachtas source

Aontaím go bhfuil gá le tuilleadh ama maidir leis an díospóireacht. I fully agree that there should be more time. I am from Galway and have intimate connections with what happened in Galway. However, the Dáil is not the place for it. The Dáil is for holding systems to account. This is what the debate should be about this week and in the extended time. In Galway city, we have had numerous reports and nobody was held to account, from the hospital to the Brothers of Charity, to the mother and baby home to the institutions in Taylor's Hill, Letterfrack and lower Salthill. I am mentioning only a tiny fraction. I call for a rational holding to account of the system and that we listen to what the groups on the ground are seeking.
