kenny let the country down, every country knows he did not apologise, he made headlines in every country, what a disgrace to the Irish women that suffered under the Irish government, he is only thinking of payouts, how many the government put in there,, what about children that were put in there by family, is there any concern for how these kids were treated,, each and everyone of those women that were in those laundries, deserve an apology, deserve some compensation, even a head stone on their grave if deceased, we are supposed to be human beings caring for one another, and praying things like this do not happen again, which we cant as it is still going on to children in foster care, 215 kids died under care,,, we do need to back this as a united people ,, and if kenny wont apologise i pray someone from some party will,, or should have

the state is now the same as the legal system that is a secrete society with power beyond truth and honour but is for self in said ,,,,to be independant…… what dictatorship and theres no OMBUDSMAN even though the troika made it part of the bail out.the whole thing amounts to genocide and treason.An apology is easy but its the meaning therein shame on the lot of you gardai,judges,p.s., state and church. R.I.P. to all those that died at the hands of the state/church incasaration over the years

Kenny should hang his head in shame over his failure to acknowledge the hurt , misery and humiliation forced on these women and his failure to offer a state apology . Nothing he can say now , in my opinion , would be genuine . I understand these women want a form of closure but if I was one of them I would tell him where to stick his apology if there is one forthcoming .

What’s Kenny going to do? Quote more statistics? I watched the ‘man’ on RTE player last week. He comes across as a rather bewildered mediocrity showing all the signs of having a puppet master’s hand up his backside. Here is a chance for him to start redeeming himself and acting like a statesman. Don’t hold your breathe.

These are ladies traumatised, isolated and scarred by physical & psychological torture. It is both stunning & shocking that individual human-beings who are personally tasked with representing all inhabitants of Ireland (past, present & future) are apparently seeking survivors of their countrywo/men’s torture to genuflect one-more-time to the leaders &c. the personages of the state of Irishry, before taking definitive, pro-active action to lesson their continued anguish.
As for “…d’cat ate me homework, Misas…” style-excuse for members needing time to read… a report?
What about your Irish Bank Resolution Corporation Act 2013… : all of you heard about it the same day it became your children’s legal code? Enacted by these same individuals with such sudden & swift speed that there is as yet no official translation available on the pages of your Dial Eiré houses of parliament.
They’re not talking about a translation into the English language either. They mean the language referred to as “thé official language of Ireland” by the Republic-of-Ireland diplomats here at the offices & buildings of the European Union at Brussels & Strasbourg.
Sad in itself, but also because your previous governor-politic there in Ireland also had a tendency to undertake deplorable acts of public unkindness precisely coinciding with the times we now know they had gotten themselves into very deep & difficult waters elsewhere in their duties.
Riling the hell out of national sentiment and citizens’ emotions has always been deemed by ministerial bigwigs as ‘useful’ at placing the attention of public consciousness in any place other than that their governors and ministerial masters were failing themselves. As Irish now know from the ominous era of your dead Lenihans: some matters can never be ‘put right’, because life isn’t a game-of-golf on the banks of Lough Ree.

Kenny is a coward and a disgrace for continuing to simply not stand up n the Dail and apologise on behalf of the state for their involvement in the crimes that were committed.
An absolute disgusting coward who has no shame.

O’ sure he will say sorry in dark quiet corners where he cannot be heard – but its in same type of darkened quiet corners that many an abuse was done.
Because Kenny is still bowing to his faith and Rome and for sheer politic reasons – all of which he’s putting ahead of the abuse victims got – he has so far slithered off from the Dail without saying one simple word on behalf of the state “Sorry!”

The disgusting man cannot even do that.
He is a disgrace to our nation and Labour should be ashamed to be associating with him.
(No wonder they are going to be absolute trashed at the next elections!)
