Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

Administration of Magdalen Restorative Justice Scheme: Report of Ombudsman

9:00 am

Mr. Peter Tyndall:

As I have said, the principal engagement we have had has been a request for clarification and confirmation that the other two recommendations that fall within the Department's remit would be dealt with. The fourth recommendation was the one made to Government generally. Again, we have had positive responses on that. We have had a response on the first three recommendations. As yet, we are not happy with the quality of the engagement in respect of the wards of court. We want to see more done. All we have had in respect of the inclusion of women whom we believe were wrongfully excluded has been a request for clarification.
