Seanad debates

Order of Business: Motion. - Commission to Inquire into Child Abuse: Statements.
The first phase of the review was completed and a report submitted to the Government. The recommendations are currently reflected in draft legislation being prepared by the Office of the Parliamentary Counsel. However, following on from that review, further amendments are being considered which are likely to result in further changes to the way in which the investigation committee operates. The Government also considers that, in the light of the Supreme Court judgment in the Meenan case, and the current case being taken by the Christian Brothers in the High Court, it is prudent to have regard to the judgments in framing amending legislation.
