I agree, with the benefit of hindsight, that the Department of Education and Science should not have been asked to inquire into the abuse of young people in institutions that were under its jurisdiction. I am fascinated by the fact that the Hutton inquiry in the UK conducted its business in eight weeks. It was able to demand the Prime Minister's attendance. We all saw the reconstructions of the hearings on television. The fact that Irish tribunals of inquiry seem to go on for years is not the end of the world, however, as the more we learn from the tribunals of the behaviour of certain people, the greater the chance that other people will appreciate the need for a high standard of ethics in public life. It would have been better if the Department of Education and Science had not been involved.
