Does Mr. Ó Foghlú think the criteria used for the survivors were too strict? Does he think that they made it too difficult for survivors? The average assessment was 39 out of 100 points. Most assessments resulted in awards of less than €100,000, which, as has been said already, were quite small. Does he think that, as was alluded to by Deputy Catherine Murphy, some of the perpetrators might have avoided prosecution because claimants were encouraged to settle through the redress scheme rather than go through the courts?
