Richard Bruton
Question:174 Mr. R. Bruton asked the Minister for Education and Science the progress that has been made in establishing a system of support for organisations representing survivors of child abuse; the agreements reached at a meeting held on 8 November 2000 with representatives of certain support groups; if the decisions were acted upon; the events which transpired at a subsequent meeting on 22 November 2000 which appear to have overturned the original decisions following the dispute and withdrawal of the original groups; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
