The Minister for Education standing in the classroom telling the kids she's the boss, and the department telling victims of sexual abuse, perpetrated by employees of that department [whatever way you look at it] that they are not to be pursued in vicarious liabity for those employees, as they are not within the remit of the State. In Byrne v Ireland, it was decided that a woman injured as a result of negligence on the part of local authority employees could sue the state as a result. She hurt her leg in a hole left uncovered. Those filthy perverts who ruined the lives of hundreds, maybe thousands, of children were in the pay of the department of Education, acting under the instruction of the Department, in the places specified by the Department. How can the minister so vociferously oppose bullying in schools, when her department is distancing itself from its responsibilities in this way, and bullying those who were ruined by abusers in their employ? If ever a "debt of honour" was owed, Bertie, this is it. Sickening.
