Administration of Magdalen Restorative Justice Scheme: Report of Ombudsman
9:00 am
Jack Chambers (Dublin West, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source
In terms of the number of Magdalen survivors and issues with capacity, the Ombudsman mentioned those who have been permanently excluded. Some applicants have obviously passed away due to the administrative reluctance of the Department. It is a shocking development in the context of this redress scheme that they were frustrated by an administrative reluctance to given them redress in the context of the scheme. Are those who have since passed away those to whom Mr. Tyndall has referred as those who are permanently excluded?
