As a plain ordinary citizen of Ireland, a mother, a daughter and a sister, I am disgusted to the point of total revulsion by the child abuse report just released. The monsters who preyed on these innocent young lives must be held accountable.

If a teenager breaks a window or steals from a shop he runs the risk of an Asbo or a criminal record. These men and women as it stands will never be tried, never be jailed and never have to face the vile acts they carried out every day for many long years.

As an Irish citizen I am ashamed today of where I was born, a country where we suggest a monument for the abused and freedom for the guilty.

I demand a public inquiry into the abuse and I offer my signature as No 1 on the petition to demand this.

- At last the truth is out. What I want to know is who is going to fight on behalf of all the children who died while in the care of these people. It is incumbent on our elected representatives to seek justice on behalf of all the children who died and all the children who suffered. Justice should remove the bandage from her eyes long enough to distinguish between the vicious and the unfortunate. Let justice be served

- I wholeheartedly support this.For too long these people have lived with this agony and they deserve justice. The corrupt organisation that is the catholic church turned a blind eye and were many of those who represented them were instrumental in causing pain, humiliation and enddless suffering to the most innocent and vulnerable members of our society. And they call themselves christians!!

- A Government should lead by example.If a Government becomes the law breaker or protects the law breakers, it breeds contempt for the law; it invites every person to become a law on to themselves;it invites ANARCHY.
