Mr Quinn has NEVER set up meetings with survivors of abuse as a whole instead he and his office have held meetings with UNPROFESSIONAL, UNEXPERIENCED, UNQUALIFIED PEOPLE WITH NO POLICE CHECKS, calling themselves support groups, REPRESENTING the most vulnerable people such as survivors of abuse, this is a disgrace to himself and to his so called professional office as I am led to believe it takes all the above to hold office meetings on behalf of the most vulnerable people of Ireland otherwise they will lack the right support they need and there is no justice in these kind of dealings as he the minister knows the Government should only hold office with professional people other wise what is the whole meaning of education and its experience.
We all know what happened to with the Right of Place as example.
Giving the whole nature of this whole affair on such a massive scale this, Mr. Quinn as all Government offices from all parties have failed most miserably the survivors.
The Government openly claimed they as the Religious are just as guilty as each other, then why take the compensation from the religious as he so mightily fought for claiming it is to be the Religious 50% towards the redress and costs.? This Government was quick enough to publish the final sum but as of yet they never published the return in taxes from that sum. They always earn back in taxes we all know this. So it seems they are trying to get away with taking the Religious compensation to survivors and cover this fact up.
Does this now leave way for two criminals committing the same crime share 50% of the fine or do 50% of the time?
These funds EDUCATION COUNSELING, FAMILY TRACING, we still have not seen who benefitted from them was it survivors or their families, as we know some families are much larger then others a lot of survivors have NO FAMILIES, Did they loose out I wonder the funds ran out in such a short time. Who can check this out?
Leaving such a tiny sum of the compensation from the estimated 600 million plus euro, this Government then dumps the education fund, the counseling fund and the family tracing fund onto the now dictated fund naming it Statuary fund, were these funds already in place for people who cannot afford them? most charities pay for these funds anyhow, and I have had to sit in the very same room as other people of mainstream society, they never had to pay either.
Regarding these funds also organized by the education office I for over two years have approached the education office explaining i need support for my little 2 year old girl, i was told there was NOTHING set up for minors young children, then not long ago I received a letter claiming I did not fill out the appropriate form for her, this was after I had spoke to this office over the two years and they admitted there was NOTHING SET UP FOR CHILDREN, giving the whole nature of this affair it was down right disgraceful.
Why is welfare not first on the agenda? everyone knows welfare is a priority especially with survivors, it would not cost this country much to have left survivors children with the christmas box of 100 euro each year, it would not cost this country much to exempt survivors from the cuts in the budget, the welfare offices know every survivor and their needs and to set up a personnel office to see that survivors have their needs met by the welfare.
