The Taoiseach has commended female former football players who featured in a joint RTÉ/Sunday Independent investigation at the weekend.
Responding to questions from Labour party leader Ivana Bacik in the Dáil, Simon Harris said he was limited in what he could say in relation to the specific allegations for legal reasons. The Taoiseach said the suggestion from Ms Bacik was"an excellent one" and that he would bring it to the relevant ministers to progress.
In the days since the details of their allegations were published, their decision to speak out has been praised by opposition and government politicians, including Minister for Sport Catherine Martin and Minister of State in the same department Thomas Byrne.
