Mr Varakdar said work was advanced on a central repository for holding publicly held records. Illustration: Paul ScottThe Government is due to receive a report on the retention of private records held by religious orders in the near future, Taoiseach Leo Varadkar said.
Mr Varadkar was responding to Independent TD Catherine Connolly during Leaders’ Questions in the Dáil on Wednesday, who spoke of the “complete failure of this Government and previous Governments to take action to preserve and protect the records held by various religious organisations in this country”.which referenced Tom Wall, a survivor of the Glin industrial school in Co Limerick.
“The issue for me today is in relation to a court case taken by the Christian Brothers against him [Mr Wall] because he has some records that they want back, not to make available to the public, but presumably, to keep, to hide or to destroy, because he’s on record saying he burned previous records on their instructions,” she said.
