However, the primary object of our concern must be the people who were abused. There is a danger that, in the course of this debate, we will lose track of the horrendous abuse that was inflicted on them in institutions throughout the country. They must remain central to this debate at all times. I join my colleague, Senator Ulick Burke, in expressing concern that the responsibility for this commission rests with the Department of Education and Science. It is, in effect, a case of the Department investigating itself. Following the resignation of Ms Justice Laffoy, there is a case to be made for responsibility being taken from the Department of Education and Science and the Minister, Deputy Noel Dempsey, and given to some other Minister and Department. That should be considered.
