To Whom It May Concern:

It?s quite clear that thousands of victims of institutional child abuse are against the corrupt Commission to Inquire into Child Abuse, Chairman, Mr. Sean Ryan, introducing sampling. As you are aware, Mr. Sean Ryan moved in as Chairman of the Commission to Inquire into Child Abuse, and introduced sampling, after the former Chairperson Honourable, Justice Mary Laffoys, resignation in 2003, at that time there were around 1,900 complainants that made applications to attend the original Investigation Committee hearings. It appears Chairman Mr. Sean Ryan has stated that 400 complainants who have already given evidence from September 2004 ? February 2006 and its solicitors are invited to participate in its Phase 3 Process in May ? June 2006. It begs the question ? how many of those 400 complainants have been to the Investigation Committee hearings from September 2004 ? February 2006, and how many of those 400 complainants have been to the Investigation Committee interviews from September 2004 ? February 2006, and how many of those 400 complainants have had poor interviews from September 2004 ? February 2006, and how many complainants remain in total from September 2004 ? February 2006, of the original 1,900 complainants that have made applications to attend the original Investigation Committee hearings. It?s quite clear that the Phase 3 hearings follow the procedures of the Phase 2 hearings. We have not read any details of the transcripts from the Phase 2 hearings. However, we believe that the transcripts of the Phase 2 hearings are unchallenging and sample evidence was used instead of the full evidence given in complainant?s statements for the Investigation Committee. It?s quite clear that the Phase 3 hearings will also be unchallenging and will also use the same sample evidence used from the Phase 2 hearings instead of the full evidence given in the complainant?s statements for the Investigation Committee. Each survivors experience is as valuable as that of the next, and it is not enough to gather clear sample evidence in this instance. Getting to the truth and justice are the issues, and the corrupt Commission to Inquire into Child Abuse, Chairman Mr. Sean Ryan, must show that, and most importantly he must not edit the truth in any of his reports. Taking into consideration the original and deeply flawed deal with the religious orders by the former Education Minister Michael Woods, the exclusion from the Act of many settings where children were abused, and the current working of the corrupt Commission to Inquire into Child Abuse including the corrupt Redress Board, there are a range of grave concerns which lead many to conclude that justice is not being done for victims of institutional child abuse. The Commission to Inquire into Child Abuse including the Redress Board is a cesspit of intrigue, mystery and shady deals involving weak and cowardly politicians capitulating to religious organizations who would do anything to keep the floodgates closed and will fight tooth and nail to deny and obscure personal accounts of vicious physical and sexual assault, rape, buggery, psychological and emotional damage, mental torture, experimentation and other unspeakable evils. It is a shocking story that will one day be analyzed by historians and political commentators who will judge the behaviour of the Government and the modern church in dealing with victims of institutional child abuse from the 1930s to the present day in the same critical terms as those who perpetrated the abuse and the politicians, departmental officials, members of the Garda Siochana, the Judiciary and others who facilitated the abuse or who incarcerated the survivors in those hellholes in the first place. Many victims of institutional child abuse do not even know their real names. History will judge the Government and the religious orders unkindly when the real truth emerges.
