Commission to Inquire into Child Abuse: Statements (Resumed).

 

More than 3,000 complaints have been received. Many of the people who suffered in the institutions have passed on to their eternal reward and we must also apologise for what happened to them. We should thank Ms Justice Laffoy for the excellent work she did while she chaired the commission. I wish the board the very best in reaching a speedy conclusion to ensure that all the young people who suffered at the hands of people for whom the State was responsible are properly compensated. No matter what amount they get, it will not be sufficient to compensate for their sufferings.
