Abuse commission of inquiry right course of action, says Enda Kenny

A commission of inquiry is the right way to address the enormity and the depravity of what has been uncovered in relation to what happened to ‘Grace’, Taoiseach Enda Kenny has said.

Grace, he said, because of her condition, was silent. However, by her treatment and her abandonment, she was silenced, he added.

Mr Kenny was speaking in the Dáil, when he confirmed the Cabinet had agreed a commission of investigation into the abuse controversy in the south-east.
