The committee is intended to investigate the action and conduct of the Catholic Church in Iceland following complaints of abuse carried out by ordained servants and other church employees and to gauge whether mistakes, omissions, deliberate cover-ups or attempts to silence people were made in the aftermath of abuse complaints. The investigation will extend to the Landakotsskoli Catholic school and abuses alleged there until 2005. Hakonardottir says that the committee has already been going over documentary evidence.
“Now we are in the position that we are ready to start discussing with people,” she says; admitting that more evidence could still come to light which will need to be factored in.
Anybody with evidence, experience or testimony they believe the committee would find useful can send a letter to P.O. Box 5, 121 Reykjavík, Iceland or email [ rannsoknkk @ gmail . com ] before 1st December.
