Jump To Comment: 1 2Mick Ryan, Limerick Republican Sinn Féin
September 9, 2003
The failure of the State to support the work of the Child Abuse commission that led to the resignation of the chairwoman indicates that the politicians are afraid to tackle the powerful religious orders, the Limerick Branch of Republican Sinn Féin stated today.
RSF local election candidate Mick Ryan from Ballynanty said that it now seems the State is not really serious about unearthing all the abuse against children in State institutions.
"The failure of the State indicates that the religious orders still have a powerful influence on the politicians," he said. "While the decision to investigate abuse in institutions run by the religious is welcome, the latest resignation must be questioned because it is obvious that this Administration is not co-operating fully with the commission.
"The whole area of state responsibility in the psychiatric institutions is another scandal and it too must be explored. Many men and women were abused both physically and sexually in state run mental institutions.
"The state cannot turn a blind eye to the abuse that was carried out in the name of the state - it is no use for the politicians to wash their hands Pontius Pilate like and walk away from the evidence now emerging of the awful treatment meted out to the men and women who were placed in state run mental institutions.
"The resignation of the commission chairperson is a serious setback to all the victims who suffered abuse in the institutions run by religious orders on behalf of the state. The state cannot continue to cover up for the religious orders - the ugly sins of the past must be faced and acknowledged and those responsible brought to justice."
good work. It is I believe only a matter of time before the truth behind psychiatric abuse in this country comes out. It is the untold story. I have done some radio journalism over the years and am working on interviews with people who have suffered as a result of psychiatry. It would be great to see some publications in this area. The anti/critical psychiatry movement is quite well organised across the water. Unfortunately nothing similiar has developed here.
