Seanad debates

Thursday, 27 November 2003

I agree with the comments of Senator Morrissey and it is something I intended to raise, but I would like to put it in a slightly different way. We all sympathise with victims of sexual abuse, whether it be from clerical sources or within the family or wherever. However, there are other victims. It is worrying that a small number of people have been unjustly accused. If I was one of them I would not give a damn about an apology, but there should be compensation. People have been deprived of their income and position in society and held up to contempt and abuse. In cases where there is an injustice of this kind, some rectification should be made.
