Eloquent and brave survivors set an example

THIS country has a lot to be ashamed of, but I worry are we in danger of being constantly negative and thinking we have little power other than to wring our hands and cry about the past.

One thing we should be celebrating is the positive examples of survivors — and this country is full of them.

People like Christine O’Brien and Michael O’Brien are victims, yes, but there’s more to them than that. They are eloquent, brave and inspiring examples to us all.
