The Scoping Inquiry team wishes to express our great sadness at the news of the death of Mark Ryan. The extraordinary bravery of Mark, and his brother David, in speaking publicly about their experiences of abuse was pivotal to the establishment of the Scoping Inquiry, and we are keenly aware of the influence that their courage had on so many survivors’ decisions to come forward and tell their stories. Our thoughts are with David and all of Mark’s family today and with his many friends. May he rest in peace.
