Commission To Examine Sexual Abuse Allegations In Schools

Education Minister Helen McEntee brought the proposal to Cabinet

A Commission of Investigation will look into historic sexual abuse in schools.

A scoping inquiry found there were more than 2,300 allegations - involving 884 alleged abusers at more than 300 schools run by religious orders.

Education Minister Helen McEntee says work is ongoing on a redress scheme for victims and survivors - while she said attempts to get funding from those responsible for the abuse are being followed.

It will be chaired by Mr Justice Michael MacGrath.
