Ann Ormonde (Fianna Fail)

I support the calls made by Senator Brian Hayes and Senator O'Toole seeking the Minister for Education and Science, Deputy Hanafin, to attend the House. I was disturbed when I saw the programme on letters sent to victims of sexual abuse regarding their legal situation. I do not doubt the Minister is working on this matter and will come to the House during the next week, if she can find time, to discuss the issue fully. I was unhappy with the manner in which the letters were sent out, according to the programme, and we must get a clear picture on what is happening.
