The report reveals a staggering 2,400 allegations of historical sexual abuse across 308 religious-run schools in Ireland, highlighting systemic failures and immense suffering.
It noted that special schools were particularly affected, with 17 institutions reporting 590 allegations involving 190 alleged abusers, showcasing a troubling trend in vulnerable settings.
The establishment of a Commission of Investigation aims to probe deeper into these distressing claims, which span decades and involve a significant number of deceased alleged abusers.
Minister Norma Foley emphasized the need for support to survivors, indicating that a redress scheme will be considered amid the alarming scale of underreported cases.
