Catherine Connolly (Galway West, Independent) | Oireachtas source

That is why we keep asking these important questions. I looked at the terms of reference. I and other colleagues have raised this issue and the Tánaiste verbally confirmed the terms of reference, which is good. I do not want to repeat what I have said, but this is important. The independent review group told us that neither men nor women were safe. That was a staggering statement. I do not want to repeat what I have said in the short time I have available. We have come to this point because the complaints procedure has failed utterly. There is ambiguity around whether those who did not make a formal complaint are covered by the terms of reference. I appreciate the bona fides of the Tánaiste in saying that they will, but he might appreciate where I am coming from on behalf of the people who had serious doubts about the process from day one.
