[The Ryan Report – BishopAccountability.org]
The UN Committee against Torture has voiced “serious concern” over the lack of information provided by Irish State regarding investigations into historical abuse outlined in the Ryan Report.
The committee has published its final report on the Irish Government’s performance on issues including historic institutional abuse, detention and healthcare.
It has warned that its call for the State to investigate all allegations of ill-treatment of women at the Magdalene Laundries have not been implemented.
It said the state has also failed to prosecute those responsible and ensure that victims get redress for their suffering.
It has urged the Government to collect data on all criminal investigations undertaken by the gardaí into allegations of abuse at religious run institutions.
