Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I meant to say that these were everts that happened in the past. All of these institutions are closed and have been closed for quite some time now. It is still, of course, a real issue, a live issue and a lived experience for those who were in those institutions. I join the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs, Deputy Zappone, in calling on anyone who has information that would be of use to the commission of inquiry to come forward with that. The fifth interim report published today is not the final say on this issue. The work of the commission is ongoing and it expects to produce a final report next spring. We must allow the commission to do its work without political interference. Those who have information, however, should bring it forward and allow the commission to analyse it.
