Labour motion on abuse defeated
Wednesday, 8 July 2009 20:59
The Labour Party motion arising out of the publication of the Ryan Report into institutional child abuse has been defeated without a vote.
Labour's Liz McManus had told the Dáil the motion sought to wipe out the criminal record of those committed to reformatory schools in order to lift the burden from victims of institutional abuse.
The motion also aimed to expand the terms of reference of the Redress Board.
Fine Gael's Charlie Flanagan said the Government seemed to be on the side of the institutions rather than the victims.
He said while the banks got money and the religious orders got an indemnity deal, the State turned on victims.
However, Fianna Fáil's Michael McGrath said rushing legislation through would do an injustice to those involved and could be found to be flawed later.
Tonight, Minister for Children Barry Andrews indicated the issue of late applications to the Board would be revisited.
Mr Andrews told the Dáil the issue had 'some compelling virtue'.
He said his recent meeting with institutional abuse victims, now based in Britain, left him struck by how many had left Ireland.
He said literacy difficulties along with a reluctance to visit Irish centres, which were giving out information on the Redress Board, left many outside the process.
Andrews meets abuse survivors in London
Monday, 6 July 2009
The Minister for Children has said there may be circumstances under which late applications to the Redress Board may be considered from survivors of institutional abuse now living in Britain.
Barry Andrews was speaking after meeting survivors' groups in London today.
It is estimated that up to a third of all survivors of institutional abuse over the past 50 years may be living in Britain.
Survivors' groups asked Mr Andrews not to end his Department's funding for British-based outreach services, as Government funding is due to end in December.
Mr Andrews said the Government did have a responsibility to respond to the needs of survivors now living in Britain, but did not give any commitment to further funding.
Since the publicity surrounding the Ryan Report, counselling services across Britain have seen hundreds of potential new applicants to the Redress Board.
The minister said survivors resident in Britain, who had not previously been aware of the existence of the Redress Board because they were not in an Irish community, may fit into special circumstances outlined in legislation.
Mr Andrews said the issue would have to be considered again in Government.
