Theresa May announces new Chair of the Child Abuse Inquiry.

Well I don't think there has been a conspiracy to delay the inquiry so I don't think there will be mud slinging or attempts to sabotage her appointment.

I think she looks to be a good choice and I think she needs to get on with it.

Hopefully a good decision. I've saying for ages we should get someone from another country to be Chair and then perhaps they won't have any connections or vested interests.

The victims' group seemed to be pleased about her appointment - that is a good start.

Fingers crossed again - I do hope this important inquiry isn't de-railed, again.

I was pleased to hear that she will be given the power to compel witnesses to give evidence.

I guess she'd pick the mud up and throw it straight back but I agree, there are those who do want this enquiry to happen

She 's got good credentials and has conducted a similar enquiry into police coverup of abuse a few years ago. I'm sure there'll be an attempt to fling mud at her by those who want this enquiry sabotaged, but fingers crossed it will be done as properly as we want.

I feel really hopeful about this appointment- smart move going to NZ. She has a great deal of relevant experience
