	Ireland Memorial to Abused Children The Press Association July 28, 2009 http://www.google.com/hostednews/ukpress/article/ALeqM5hPlc26Sgvf_JwdY5yu6IPPk7sLDA A national memorial will be erected in Ireland for tens of thousands of children who were abused over decades in church-run institutions. Children's Minister Barry Andrews said a national day of remembrance for survivors and those who died at the hands of sexual, emotional and physical torture is also being considered. The proposal is one of 99 in the Government's response to the findings of a 10-year official inquiry released in May into systemic abuse in orphanages, industrial and reformatory schools. Despite the economic crisis, Mr Andrews insisted the Cabinet has rubber-stamped the 25 million euro (?21.5 million) plan to deal with what he branded a dark passage of Irish history.
