The recent scoping inquiry into historical sexual abuse in Irish day and boarding schools has revealed nearly 2,400 allegations against 884 alleged abusers, mostly involving religious orders.
Minister Norma Foley announced the establishment of a Commission of Investigation into these historical allegations, signifying a move towards greater accountability and support for survivors.
Reports indicate that many survivors are cautious about coming forward, highlighting a disturbing trend of underreporting that may obscure the true scale of abuse.
Over half of the individuals accused of abuse are dead, raising concerns over justice and the challenge of addressing historical allegations in a meaningful way.
