<p>
	Taoiseach Enda Kenny has promised a D&aacute;il report about new allegations of physical and sexual abuse at a small country school.</p>
<p>
	Fianna F&aacute;il leader Miche&aacute;l Martin said the abuse was documented in a report by the Children&#39;s Ombudsman and happened as recently as 2005/2006. He said he knew that a child who made allegations about the school had written to Mr Kenny.</p>
<p>
	&nbsp;</p>
<p>
	In the D&aacute;il, Mr Martin called for an independent expert panel to investigate the case at the unnamed school as he said the Ombudsman&#39;s report was particularly damning.</p>
<p>
	&nbsp;</p>
<p>
	He said he was concerned that three separate authorities - the Department of Education, the Health Service Executive and the school board of management - had not responded appropriately to the situation.</p>
<p>
	&nbsp;</p>
<p>
	&quot;The Ombudsman for Children&#39;s report is saying that this was not handled properly by any of the three bodies involved,&quot; Mr Martin said.</p>
<p>
	&nbsp;</p>
<p>
	He said the garda&iacute; now accepted its original investigation was not up to standard and it was being renewed, as fresh allegations were received.</p>
<p>
	&nbsp;</p>
<p>
	&quot;That was all in 2005/2006, not 50 years ago, 30 years ago, not 20 years ago,&#39;&#39; Mr Martin said.</p>
<p>
	&nbsp;</p>
<p>
	The Taoiseach said he was aware of the case and added that the issue was being examined by the garda&iacute;, the Departments of Health, Justice and Education, as well as the child protection authority, Tusla, and the parents of the children at the school.</p>
<p>
	&nbsp;</p>
<p>
	&quot;I&#39;m quite prepared to come back to you when I have more clarity,&quot; Mr Kenny said.</p>
<p>
	&nbsp;</p>
<p>
	He added that the report awaited from Tusla was required before he could make any comment.</p>
<p>
	&nbsp;</p>
<p>
	&quot;There is no place for this kind of activity in any school or in any home in the country,&quot; the Taoiseach said.</p>
<p>
	&nbsp;</p>
<p>
	Mr Kenny said it was a sensitive case which must be properly investigated and he was aware of the implications of the Ombudsman&#39;s report.</p>
