New Justice Minister must meet Bethany survivors

The Minister of State with Responsibility for Mental Health, Kathleen Lynch, stated on May 8, that Alan Shatter "clearly handled some issues badly".

Survivors of the Bethany Home can certainly vouch for that, they also know that the minister is eminently qualified to make this statement, as she observed Mr Shatter’s treatment towards the survivors.

Ms Lynch is on record as stating that “The continued refusal of the Government to include former residents of the Bethany Homes under the provisions of the Residential Institutional Redress Scheme is a running sore”.
