Child sexual abuse survivors of the Christian Brother school in Creagh Lane, Limerick, have expressed their disappointment with Taoiseach Micheál Martin.
Martin spoke about a letter from a former Christian Brother, Sean Drummond, and described it as new information.
The letter had been revealed in a documentary produced by RTE last year. John Boland, who is representing the survivors said that the Taoiseach should have already been aware of the letter and was "at a loss" as to how he was thus far unaware.
During the leaders question, Sinn Fein leader, Mary Lou McDonald raised the unfortunate incidents that occurred at the school in Limerick. McDonald highlighted that the letter proved there was previous compaint of Drummond and that the confession letter was sealed and never given to the survivors.
Speaking in the Dáil, Martin said: "I was not aware of the confession letter of Seán Drummond, which the Deputy outlined.
"I would like to get more background on that and to see what is the best way to take it from here in respect of the specific issue of an independent investigation into why that letter did not appear before now," he added.
In the documentary that was made last year, the survivors spoke about the letter from Drummond, who sexually abused all of them in the late 1960s. They also described the life long effects the abuse has had on them.
In 2009, Drummond pleaded guilty to the indecent assault on 19 boys between the ages of seven and nine at Creagh Lane/Gerald Griffin Memorial Primary School, Bridge Street, Limerick between 1967 and 1968, according RTE. Four years later, in 2013, Drummond pleaded guilty again of two counts of indecently assaulting a pupil aged ten at CBS Sexton Street, Limerick.
