Cabinet Secretary, thank you for that response. Like you and everybody else in this Chamber, we were appalled and shocked at the allegations that have emerged in recent weeks of abuse by a monk on Caldey Island. Eleven women so far have come forward to say that they were abused by Father Thaddeus Kotik when they were children, and of course they are all suffering lifelong consequences as a result of that abuse. In fact, one of those women claims that a second person also abused her on that island. Who that person is and where they are we don't actually know, and we know that other cases may well come to light, and I too would encourage people to report their concerns.

We also know that allegations of abuse, of course, were brought to the attention of the abbot at Caldey Abbey back in 1990 but were not reported to the police at that time, and that since that date, a child sex offender, Paul Ashton, hid on Caldey Island for a period of seven years trying to evade justice. And I have to say, I think the whole thing stinks. It smacks of a deliberate cover-up of abuse by clergy on that island, which is frequently visited by young children, a place that ought to be safe, which hasn't been safe in the past. And I think we need answers. We need answers as to who knew what, when, and why the abbey didn't report things to the police when they ought to have done when things were brought to their attention. We also need to know when Pembrokeshire's social services department knew about these claims and what action they may or may not have taken in the past to protect young children visiting that island.

I'm appalled by this and I think that it would be wise to ask you to organise an independent inquiry into what went on, because we do need to learn lessons and we need to be confident now, particularly given that we don't know who this second person is, that young children are safe visiting that island in the future. School trips are still going on, Cabinet Secretary, and we need to be sure that those children are protected from abuse.
