    Mary McAleese ,speak up

    Why does our mother of the nation, President Mary McAleese not speak out on the abuse of children by administering a secret oath to stop them reporting abuse. She swooned around the Vaticasn when Brady got red hat. And she builds bridges.
    You'd think Kenny committed Treason and brought in IMF. Cowen had all in stitches in Galway at 3.30a.m.but he was "not impaired" -DD Power. FF=Publican páirtí an IMF.

    It is high time we heard from her, she was on trip to Vatican with Martin McGuinness when Brady got the red hat. And she has had more visits to Benedict than any other world leader. She wears her religion on her sleeve. Tell us what you think Mary. We are waiting for your profound words delivered with the usual sincerity

    Her brother attended one of the schools mentioned in the Ryan report. One of his relatives who worked in that school raised the matter with his family re abuses. As a result of this, they withdrew him and placed him in another school back home in the north. They didn't report the abuses to the relevant authorities so the abuses continued for some years before it ceased.

    She is aware of her brother's ex alma mater school as she knows some of his brother's ex school mates- friends when she invited them in recently.

    Agreed - the President needs to define a new role as a voice of the Nations conscience, not just a ribbon cutting functionary.

    Well, if you're looking for an instant soundbite you'll not get it, but she clearly stated that " no-one is above the law". What do you want ffs ?

    Notwithstanding her very close links to the Church and the Irish hierarchy I can't believe she would be indifferent to the suffering of abuse victims.

    I suspect her silence could have more to do with the constraints of her Office in that the Government has to clear any official statements from her.

    Still no word from the mother of the nation . Maybe she is praying to the Holy Spirit for guidance as to what to say
