In my heart and soul, I believe the State was responsible for the abuse of young people. I have believed from the start of this process that it is right that the State should pay for its lack of vigilance in looking after young people in industrial and reformatory schools. I spoke about this matter at a meeting of the Joint Committee on Finance and the Public Service. There seems to be a vendetta on the part of the Opposition, especially the Labour Party, in respect of issues of costs and money. Given that their lives have been ruined, how must the victims of abuse feel when they hear all this talk about money and costs? Any young person who is physically or sexually abused is damaged for life. They may make a form of recovery, but they are damaged forever.
