Commission to Inquire into Child Abuse (Amendment) Bill 2005: Committee and Remaining Stages.
11:00 am
Ulick Burke (Fine Gael)
I support this highly relevant amendment. Last night on "Tonight with Vincent Browne" there was a very good example of what we are discussing. A woman on the programme told how she was put into an institution as a child. She did not know why she was put into the institution at seven years of age or why she was then transferred from one institution to another. She had no idea of the reasons. She was abused in all of the institutions in which she was placed. Her horrific experience makes these amendments relevant.
