Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 28 March 2017
58. Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs if her attention has been drawn to the fact that in 2013 a Health Service Executive counsellor notified the HSE child protection services that a person had disclosed historical sexual abuse allegations relating to a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [8050/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs I am sure the Deputy is aware the issue being raised is now the subject of a Tribunal of Inquiry, which is chaired by the Hon. Mr. Justice Peter Charleton. I would note that I addressed this matter as part of the statements made in this House on 14 February 2017, which were made prior to the setting up of the Tribunal. As the Tribunal is now at work, I will not comment further on issues that it may wish to examine under its terms of reference.
