Roderic O'Gorman (GP), Dublin West

I would be conscious, from my own engagement with survivors over recent weeks, of that wide range of impacts, including very profound impacts, that time in these institutions has had on survivors. One of the points we committed to in the Government statement made in October of this year was to advance a piece of research on the actual impact on survivors, and that is something we are undertaking in conjunction with the HSE. We have a very clear understanding of the types of impacts that have been faced by survivors, so we can shape the responses that we will be providing to survivors appropriately. It is particularly important that our response to this group of survivors is appropriate to their particular needs.
