Alan Kelly (Tipperary, Labour) | Oireachtas source

I pay particular tribute to Ms Corless, Joan Burton, my friends, Rosie and Mags McKinney, for sharing their story - I know they are not happy but I will work with them - people like Gerry, whose aunt bought him out of Sean Ross Abbey in Roscrea, my neighbour, Theresa Collins, and everybody else who has worked tirelessly to get to this stage. Today, we are at the beginning of a journey into our past in dealing with this issue. We have opened many doors and we need to open many more in regard to this issue.
