The Report of the Commission to Inquire into Child Abuse (the Ryan Report) was published in
May 2009. It revealed a shocking level of historic abuse inflicted on Irish children, who were
placed by the State in residential institutions run by religious orders. A central theme running
through the Commission’s report was that more could have been done and that warning signs
were ignored. The Report served to highlight the need to review the current organisation and
delivery of child welfare and protection services nationally. The Report placed considerable
emphasis on the need to ensure that all children are now listened to, respected as individuals
and protected against any type of abuse.
Following the publication of the Report a detailed Implementation Plan was prepared and
published in July 2009. The Government is committed to full implementation of the Plan. The
Implementation Plan sets out a series of 99 actions designed to address the effects of past
abuse, reform service provision and ensure that children and young people have a stronger
voice. Some of the 99 actions have a specific target date for completion, up to December
2011, while other actions are noted ‘ongoing’.
The overall aim of the Plan is to make a difference in children’s lives by addressing past
failings and putting measures in place to achieve better outcomes in the delivery of services
to children and families.
