ABUSE survivors of the Protestant Bethany Home who failed in their bid for inclusion in the State’s €1.5bn redress scheme have branded Ministers Alan Shatter and Kathleen Lynch as “grossly arrogant” in their attitude towards them.
Ms Lynch was singled out for particular criticism by survivors.
The survivors also said it is now their intention to launch litigation against the Government in order to obtain “justice from the State that abandoned us”.
The scathing attack on the ministers relates to a meeting in Leinster House earlier this year.
The survivors said they kept quiet about it up until now for fear of jeopardising their bid for justice.
