Thousands of allegations of sexual abuse against nearly 900 alleged abusers in hundreds of schools were disclosed as part of an investigation into sexual abuse in schools run by religious orders on Tuesday.
Education Minister Norma Foley became emotional during a press conference on the "harrowing, horrific and heartbreaking" report, with a scoping inquiry calling for a Commission of Investigation to be established.
It is believed that the total number of people alleged to have been abused in religious-run schools is much larger and a new wave of alleged victims is expected to come forward following the publication of this harrowing report.
