One of the main ongoing issues of concerns is the fact, as Mr. Tyndall said in his closing comments, that some women who were in these laundries or institutions have not yet received any benefit under this scheme. One explanation that appears to have been put forward by the Department is that there may be the prospect of double payment and people may have been compensated under the Residential Institutions Redress Board procedure. What does Mr. Tyndall say to the suggestion that it may be appropriate to exclude persons who had already been compensated under the Residential Institutions Redress Board and then permit anyone who was in a neighbouring institution to apply? Would that be unfair because, as Mr. Tyndall said, there were wrongs that can be differentiated?
