Opening remarks by Ruairi Quinn, TD, Minister for Education and Skills – Meeting with religious congregations [merrionstreet.ie]
- Published: 22 July 2011
At the outset I want to thank you all for responding to my invitation to attend today’s meeting.
I am pleased that so many congregations are represented here.
I understand that due to the timing of the meeting, the Rosminians, the Daughters of the Heart of Mary and the Sisters of Our Lady of Charity could not be represented here today.
Regrettably, the Sisters of Mercy opted not to attend, though I understand that they are willing to meet individually.
Nevertheless I look forward to constructive engagement with you today and in the future.
The primary purpose of today’s meeting is to discuss with you the question of how the congregations and other management bodies move towards meeting the target of achieving a 50:50 share of the cost of the response to residential institutional abuse.
