Which party was it that invited the Catholic church to play a central role, and gave them free reign in running the countries education system again Micheal?
Oh yeah.
Not to mention that from the 1950′s, there are records that complaints were made to the Gardai, various ministers of both health and justice, doctors, legal firms, charities….and more. Yet the State still plays the “it has nothing to do with us, it’s the Catholic Church’s fault” card.
The State is as guilty as the Vatican in all of this.
Anyone else tuning into that 1 hour of FG porn, Enda on Monday? Me neither..
FG porn? There really are some sick feckers out there. *shudder*
FG porn? way to turn me off my beastiality videos
Enda Kenny dodges questions..knob jocky
@Eyepopper, Which party let the Catholic Church get off nearly scott free regarding paying compensation to victims of sexual abuse under the instructions of Opus Dei member Michael Woods.
20 grand yesterday for a child getting locked in a classroom for 25 min and then the people that deserve justice for what happened them as children get shafted
@Alan Baldwin: So true Alan, as a 5 year old little girl I was locked into what I would call a dungeon in the dark and cold no shoes or socks, no food, no heat, no water after doing something wrong like not scrubbing the floor properly beaten bloody and terrified. Abused everyday and the government protected the religious from even an apology to their victims. And the fund set up for people like me by the Government called Caranua, refuse survivors of abuse even basic dental treatment from the fund.
The Taoiseach adds that it “wouldn’t be appropriate” to comment on a case that he doesn’t
have the full facts about………. I presume he meant to say that it “wouldn’t be appropriate” to
comment on a case that I do have the full facts about because I much prefer to kick the can
down the road. A more believable answer !
Well haven’t they invited the pope over in 2018? Maybe he can bring the cheque for the outstanding amount the church owes its abuse victims!
Also wasn’t Michael in the government that signed off on that ludicrous deal with the church?
Does this in any way make money for Europe or Enda’s mates ?
If answer is “No” kick it into touch – not interested
Just seven out of 210 cases being settled by compensation at present? I think this is disgraceful as it’s all down to the efforts of the last FG/Labour coalition, especially Ms Jan O’Sullivan then Minister for Education at the time, in making things even more harder for the rest of the victims to receive compensation capping at about over €80k at her proposal. I’m sure that Enda feels absolutely no shame nor embarrassment to this day when recalling about his meeting with Ms O’Keeffe about over 2 years ago.
‘..adding it is important to note “there is no imminent closure” planned for St Marys of the angels’. Right so out with the CVs, it’ll be gone by Christmas
