I welcome the opportunity to speak to this Bill and I will continue from where Deputy Durkan finished. A great debt of gratitude is owed to the women who came forward and shared their stories, Vicky Phelan, Ruth Morrissey, the late Emma Mhic Mhathúna and others, as well as men like Mr. Stephen Teap. Without them and their courage in coming forward and sharing their experiences, we could never learn the lesson mentioned by Deputy Durkan.
