Written Answers. - Child Abuse Allegations.

Alan Shatter

Question:

266 Mr. Shatter asked the Minister for Education and Science if he has satisfied himself that statements made by officials of his Department to any Oireachtas Committee and the media regarding allegations made by a person (details supplied) concerning the abuse of children in St. Laurence's in the 1980s are accurate and comprehensive; and, if not, if he will set the record straight. [11291/99]

I am satisfied that officers of my Department have in this case, as in all matters, sought to provide this House, all Oireachtas Committees and the media with accurate and comprehensive information and if at any time, for any reason, that was not the case I would be only too willing to set the record straight.

If the Deputy has any particular concern as regards this particular case, he may wish to provide me with further details so that I can have the matter investigated. In this regard, I assure the Deputy that it is my intention to facilitate the maximum possible level of disclosure in relation to such matters.
