Justice denied to the victims of child abusers
You, or any other cabinet member, should have no right to set the terms, or the agenda, for the inquiry into the national scandal of child rape, buggery, violent physical and verbal assault, slavery (Magdalen Laundries), cruelty, degradation, and God knows what else, perpetrated by members of Catholic religious orders, and the ordinary clergy, on generations of young Irish people with the connivance and active collaboration of the state.
Once again, we see an already discredited government failing to face up to its responsibilities. With their lack of respect and even contempt for our constitution, shilly-shallying and obstructionism, they have forced the resignation of Justice Laffoy.
