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

 

I am not the only one to hold this view. When Professor Meehan brought his case to the High Court and then to Supreme Court that he should not have to appear in person before the commission because of his age and, I believe, infirmity, at least two of the Supreme Court judges said they could not understand why this element of the commission had been included in its remit because they could not see how it involved the sexual or physical abuse of children. I hope, therefore, this aspect is looked at again.
