Written Answers. - Child Abuse.

Alan Shatter

Question:

28 Mr. Shatter asked the Minister for Education and Science if he has satisfied himself that statements made by officials of his Department to an Oireachtas committee and to the media in relation to allegations made by a person (details supplied) concerning the abuse of children in St. Laurence's School, Finglas, in the 1980s are accurate and comprehensive; and, if not, if he will set the record straight. [13704/99]

As far as I am aware, officials of my Department have in this case, as in all matters, sought to provide accurate and comprehensive information to Oireachtas committees and the media. If at any time, for any reason, this has not been the case I can assure the Deputy that 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.
