We cannot appeal to the morality of religious orders to pay their share of redress to survivors of institutional piece. Read my Op-Ed in @thejournal.ie today ahead of the debate on our @labour.ie Bill to compel institutions to pay redress this week in the Dáil. www.thejournal.ie/readme/catho...

Ivana Bacik: Religious orders must now be compelled to pay redress for child abuse
Appeals to Christian morality have not worked; it’s time these institutions paid their dues and were held to account.
