Clerical abuse survivors express anger after meeting with Taoiseach
There is fury from some clerical abuse survivors regarding Government plans for a reparation scheme.
They were told by the Taoiseach last night that they will only get €110m of the €348m provided by religious orders named and shamed in the Ryan report.
The balance is to be kept by the State in a bid to achieve a 50-50 split between Church and taxpayer for the €1.3bn redress scheme.
Some survivors have accused the Government of "robbing victims" of compensation.
In a statement, Brian Cowen insisted he still wants another €200m from the congregations for the State, with the cash to be used towards the new national children's hospital.
