Text of Petition                      

​As a victim of child abuse by catholic priests and monks I wish to get the Welsh Governmnet to hold a public inquiry into the historic child abuse on Caldy Island. Victims need the truth and answers as to why an ongoing investigation for 29 years has failed the victims. The inquiry will help to safeguard children in the future.
