Apologisers in advance as my email is not working, and I tried to send message via this site, but system crashed on me, perhaps an article for sott, article carried in The Irish Independent Monday 23rd March 2015

The move, which also allows for the possible destruction of documents, must now be ratified by the Dáil in a bill which will be brought forward by Education Minister Jan O'Sullivan.
The Irish Independent has learned that the bill has been approved by Cabinet for drafting.
The Retention of Records Bill 2015 will provide for the strict and confidential sealing of documents from the Commission into Child Abuse, the Residential Institutions Redress Board and the Residential Institutions Review Committee.
Tom Cronin of Irish Survivors of Institutional Abuse International said abuse survivors were "shocked and horrified" that the records would be sealed for so long.

Maybe I’m reading too much into this, but it’s somewhat fishy… why make the evidence available to researchers in the future, what’s wrong with today, look here’s a problem, it’s a problem today, it’s not something that happened in the past, it’s happening today and it’s not going away any time soon… it’s effects are present today… in a kind of dissociated society.
Sure not on the scale it once was… it’s all just lip service and a few pieces of silver
So in 75 years, what will change if the present is ignored… Just foot notes in history.
Some people use a famous quote something along the lines ‘… people who don’t study history are doomed to repeat it…’ personally I’d go with the other line ‘… the only thing history shows, is that were doomed to repeat history.’ something like that.
I think were still beeing passively complicit with the horrors that were, are taking place...
It just exhausting...
Maybe mods can remove this and pass it on for consideration... for sott editors
