Marie Moloney (Labour)

I concur with Senator Norris with regard to the provision of education. I know many survivors of abuse who have grown from what they suffered and gained strength. They have gone on to do well for themselves because they were determined not to let the system drag them down. I know many survivors who have been very well educated since. They do not need this money now. Money must be directed towards the most vulnerable and those who most need it. The Minister indicated yesterday that he may widen the scope of the fund in due course, if any funds are left over. That would be most welcome. If there are sufficient moneys remaining once the eligible applicants have been dealt with, the fund should be opened up to those who failed to apply in 2002.
