The Taoiseach says compensation for those abused in religious-run schools cannot be "parked" until after a full statutory inquiry is completed.

Simon Harris has been responding to the scoping report on alleged historical sexual abuse at 308 schools across Ireland.

32 Cork schools were included in the report with 166 allegations made at the Brothers of Charity special school in Lota, Glanmire.

Taoiseach Simon Harris says we have to move forward in a survivor-centred way:

"Can't wait five, six, seven, longer years. and I heard very I heard even from even from a distance, where we are today. I've heard survivors have been talking publicly, saying that they want, and I'm not speaking for them, but what i take from what they've said is that they want a process that is going to find truth and justice."
