We would like to update you regarding the Unions position following consultation with many of our stakeholders and fellow alumni.

The Blackrock College Union is requesting a full inquiry into recent revelations about abuse which took place in both Blackrock College and Willow Park.

We have listened to our members who are quite rightly shocked and who are demanding answers as to how this occurred.

We believe these answers can only be achieved through a full inquiry which should be independent, transparent with published findings.

This process should have the best interests of survivors as it’s paramount consideration and should be concluded as a matter of urgency. Anything less would be a further injustice to all those who are deeply affected by these disclosures
