Abuse survivors to consider taking case to Europe

THE Irish Survivors of Child Abuse (SOCA) organisation is to step up its campaign on behalf of members in the wake of the collapse of the Laffoy Commission.

A meeting of all abuse survivors has been arranged for Sunday week in Liberty Hall, Dublin, at which proposals for extending their campaign will be considered. Taking their case to Europe will be one of the options under consideration.

“Our priority now is to establish the complicity of state in institutional abuse,” said spokesperson John Kelly yesterday.
