Appeal For Abuse Victims To Come Forward
Garda have launched a dedicated telephone line as part of their investigation following the publication of the Ryan Report last week.
The Ryan Report detailed the plight of children that attended the reform institutions under the care of the Catholic Church in Ireland during the 60, 70s and 80s. Victims of the abuse have been asked to come forward to Gardaí to assist them in their enquiries.
The newly established report, entitled the Commission to Inquire into Child Abuse Report, is asking anyone wishing to provide information relative to the report or who want to report information relating to the matter can contact the telephone line.
The new line can be contacted on 01- 6663612, and the line will be manned during office hours, Monday to Friday.
Alternatively interested parties can write to the Offices of the Assistant Commissioner, National Support Services, Harcourt Square, Dublin 2 with envelopes marked Ryan Report.
Today, Minister for Health Mary Harney has said the Taoiseach will be taking a 'robust' approach to negotiations with the religious congregations identified in the report.
The Dáil also unanimously passed an all-party motion today, calling on the Congregations to make further substantial contributions by way of reparation to the victims of institutional abuse.
A full two-day debate on the Report of the Commission on Child Abuse will be held when the Dáil returns after next week's local and European elections.
