I remember quite well that much of the discussion on the number of people who had initially come forward to seek redress was about people not knowing that there was a redress scheme in place because they had left the country. Who could have blamed them? When the figures doubled, I presume there would have been a sizeable number of people from outside the State that would have increased the number from 7,000 to 14,000. Is that the case?
