Order of Business: Motion. - Commission to Inquire into Child Abuse: Statements.

 

However, there is a need to acknowledge that something must be done to address the matter. The first thing to do is to recall CORI for discussions and perhaps suggest it transfer to the Government a few more monasteries or round towers, or whatever it takes to meet the shortfall. There is nothing wrong with this approach. It is not a question of leaving people destitute or punishing those who do not need to be punished. There is a job to be done at a time when the victims feel they are being buffeted by the tidal energy of political parties and politicians, including myself. That approach is not working.
