Dáil Éireann Debate, Monday - 11 September 2023
770. Deputy Róisín Shortall asked the Minister for Education to respond to matters raised in correspondence (details supplied) regarding the “Guide to Potential Government Responses” booklet sent to survivors of institutional abuse taking part in the scoping inquiry; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [39232/23]
View answerThe Scoping Inquiry's remit is to inform the Government's response to revelations of historical sexual abuse in day and boarding schools run by religious orders. It is independently-led and the booklet referred to was issued by the Scoping Inquiry. However, it is my understanding that the survivor engagement process will provide an opportunity for survivors to outline to the Scoping Inquiry what they would like to see happen next in respect of the Government's response.
