I am not asking about engagements. This is a straightforward question. The language used in the Comptroller and Auditor General's report is straightforward where it states, "Government policy is that the congregations who ran the institutions would share equal liability ...", and it determines 50% of the overall cost of redress, which results in a figure of €760 million. My question is when did it become Government policy that there should be equal liability.
