Every day there seems to be further developments in reaction to the Ryan Report on child abuse of children in residential institutions. Yesterday, the director of CORI Justice, Fr Sean Healy, stated that the scale and the depth of the disclosures in the report necessitated a reassessment of what has been done to date.

CORI Justice today called on the Government not to reduce social welfare in next week's Budget, saying that there is "no justification whatsoever" for the move.

One of the country’s leading social justice groups today demanded the Government tackle surging unemployment and the growing number of working poor.

THE country needs a government committed to an agenda for fair and sustainable progress, social campaigner Fr Seán Healy said yesterday.
