The time has come when we must ask if the greatest crime against children in the Irish Republic in 21st Century is the paying of inflated salaries to the CEOs of makey-up groups at a time when 5,500 children are being denied medical operations and many tens of thousands of Irish children are living in poverty. While the Catholic Church has much to answer for in relation to the Rape of Children, there are many who are making a great deal of money of the backs of those child rape victims. The Irish tax payer is paying tens of millions of Euros each year to a 'victims' industry that appears only to exist for the provision of inflated salaries and expense accounts for a self-profiling elite.

Ms Lewis said she is concerned at the sentiments expressed in the statement.
