	Plea to Witnesses of Child Abuse Press Association May 28, 2009 http://www.google.com/hostednews/ukpress/article/ALeqM5j3N70vYiv66aoI09sA8ToJXeqnGw Justice Minister Dermot Ahern has urged anybody who witnessed institutional child sex abuse to come forward with evidence that could help secure criminal prosecutions. Victims and those who have any information on the catalogue of sexual, physical and emotional brutality dealt out to thousands of children for decades at so-called industrial and reformatory schools should contact the Garda, he insisted. The call comes after last week's Ryan report and Mr Ahern said the abuse crimes, mainly carried out by members of religious orders who ran schools for the state, are so enormous that they cannot be swept under the carpet.
