Once more, How come these Groups made decisions on behalf of survivors of abuse right from the very beginning when most survivors never knew them, Mr. Barry was only so proud to have made deals with the Government only later to be thrown out by the present Right of Place Cork for failing the survivors. There was no mandate and no voting cards just shouting matches from those who placed themselves in charge to the main body of survivors who did not agree with that self chosen committee.
At this point I would like to add this kangaroo styled committee did not know any experiences or needs of survivors, just their own.
To use these Groups of self appointed individuals against survivors is exactly what this Government is doing and is totally guilty of such.
This happened in the industrial schools, The Government placed all their trust in Religious nutters because it was cheaper to do so, thinking it will never come back to haunt them. What the Government forget is these are now Families and the same treatment is reoccurring by their actions here.
The Government and the Religious are guilty of not addressing survivors of their abuse properly it is yet again neglect of human rights on the largest scale ever to take place in Ireland and needs to be challenged asap. It is a massive cover up a white wash and down right arrogant.
For the number of actual survivors left alive the Government would have saved the tax payer money and held a better reputation by handling this whole affair in a more professional manor.
The compensation from the Religious would be a start to help the lives they both destroyed by actions past present and future.
The HSE have failed the survivors in need also by not making a stand for professional support for all survivors and their families instead they are paying these groups who have not had years of experience in handling the most vulnerable, sure a few courses were held by some staff but nothing professional enough to say they can see hear understand and especially help individual survivors and families.
On this may I add there are no photographs of our childhood, though hundreds were taken yet the solicitors never managed to get any on behalf of survivors yet it is part of their identification.
Travelers have welfare support workers working on their behalf this is good why not survivors who are also failing to settle in a community they never understood or felt part of, not to their fault by this the survivors could be housed have their urgent needs met and helped in areas of their lives they seem to have serious problems with.
