Child abuse survivors praise Taoiseach for strong stance

LEADING clerical child sex abuse survivors have hailed Taoiseach Enda Kenny’s powerful Dáil stance as a moment historians may one day describe as the time when Ireland became a genuine republic.

One in Four founder Colm O’Gorman said the remarks were “groundbreaking” and that there were not enough superlatives to explain just how important the Mr Kenny’s comments are to the future of this country.

In a clear rebuke of former governments who were in power when previous clerical child sex abuse reports were published, Mr O’Gorman said the Taoiseach’s response to the Murphy Commission was something he had personally been waiting to hear for more than a decade.
