Brian Hayes (Fine Gael)

I am sure all Members will join me in congratulating Mr. Justice Murphy and his team on the publication yesterday of the report arising from the inquiry into clerical abuse in the Ferns area, which they have worked on over the past two years. I raised the matter in the House last week with the Deputy Leader and I ask the Leader when we will have a full debate on this issue. While this is a shocking report, we must respond cooly. We must set out an agenda of work to implement vital legislation required to protect children and find out if the Government's promised inquiry into clerical sex abuse in the Dublin area will be extended nationwide.

This House must congratulate and support the One in Four organisation, particularly Mr. Colm O'Gorman——
