How has the Government responded to the schools abuse report?

This week’s host, Pat Leahy, is joined by Jack Horgan-Jones and Harry McGee to discuss the big political stories of the week.
Following Tuesday’s publication of the scoping report into sexual abuse at religious-run schools, the panel discusses the next steps for the Government on the issue. When will a Commission of Investigation be established, how long will it take, and with no commitment given to setting up a redress scheme for survivors, how much will it cost the State?
This week also saw the publication of Sinn Féin’s long-awaited housing plan. If elected to Government, the party plans to spend €39 billion on housing over the next five years to deliver 300,000 homes. But will it be enough to swing votes in their direction?
And finally, the first of the Autumn think-ins begins tomorrow, as the Labour Party descends upon Malahide. What can be expected from the meeting, and where will they position themselves in the lead-up to the next election?
