Dear Minister of Education why are yyou SIMPLY using the 2012 Redress act against those this very act is supposed to protect?

We Survivors who Stand Together are the ONLY REAL self supporting Group as it is free from all funding so we have our own voice and not being controlled by your department so you can refer to claims we survivors do not agree to.

The original funds Education Family tracing and Counselling covered RELATIVES as you know BUT as you also KNOW only too well these funds did NOT cover children as DEPENDANTS as you know this as so did your predecessor.
WHY? only to your Department's Disgrace and as you now have the oppertunity to address this matter you actually USE this REDRESS ACT of 2012 AGAINST US SURVIVORS who have YOUNG CHILDREN who are dependants of us as Parents and you also KNOW this as I have written to your office and again to your disgrace you and your department refuse to answer any Emails I have sent regarding this matter and these Emails go back as far as 2011 when the original funds were available to Survivors but a snigger from your secretary under Minister Quinn saying ah well your child is too young.But never mind she can claim from the new Statutory fund about to open. I only found this to be false statement.

we cannot believe that you would use the Redress act of 2012 to save all but a few euros that would help the very limited amount of children here who your office have turned away from as Education Minister so if you are NOT to be trusted and use such an act against young Children that urgently need the same support and funding as those who were entitled in the previous funds then you have to RESIGN because if you cannot be trusted with a few young Children then you certainly cannot be trusted to this office for the majority of this Country's children as on this Ryan Report your office via your predecessor Minister Quinn spoke of in public on this Report that you can help our children their children and their children's children, but here you are using this redress act of 2012 AGAINST YOUNG CHILDREN a complete disgrace of you Minister so in REALITY you saved your office a fortune as you pay over 90, 000 euro to your staff of the Caranua which we survivors as you call us own this compensation so we are paying from our compensation for the damages your office the Health Department and the justice Department failed Ireland's children and we are paying on the false accusations from your office that this money if given directly we would spend this money on addictions but then why pay REDRESS in the first place?
You KNOW what was really needed and that was Welfare and Health support but those Ministers have ducked away from their duties also as Survivors are suffering greatly to no fault of their own as they can only make decisions on how they have and are being treated so it seems we are all TRYING to SURVIVE your WRATH rather than your support. So much for using this REDRESS ACT of 2012 to save what is virtually a very very small price to the damage done to our families then and now.

Minister you owe us who are trying to survive proper respect and support you owe our children the same funding as you funded older relatives so using your own Redress agreement act 2012 is PUNISHING young Children and totally unfair to them whos Parents cannot afford their development and skills books school practices that have costs such as also outings clubs and after lessons where survivors children just like ORPAHNS have to WATCH those who have FAMILY supporters. So our children are even worse off as they are ORPHANED now to ORPHANED families I think you and all who read this and the sufferings will only fully understand what it is I am saying as basically speaking you have showed nothing but heartless decisions on the damage caused toward the future of our children.

We need those same Education funds for our DEPENDANTS that other family members benefited from so as you can see your decision on using this 2012 act is wrong very wrong as the only ones you punish are the poorest of the poor who are trying to survive the abuse of their own childhoods.

Our CHILDREN NEED YOUR FUNDS and RESPECT your OFFICE HAS TO DATE NOT SUPPORTED THE CHILDREN but you sure do PUNISH CHILDREN by referring to your 2012 act claiming they are RELATIVES NO Minister they are DEPENDANTS of both PArents and STATE who Destroyed their Families limiting their futures as you use your act of 2012.
