Administration of Magdalen Restorative Justice Scheme: Report of Ombudsman
9:00 am
Mr. Peter Tyndall:
I favour using both approaches such that people can come in through either door, which is the appropriate way to deal with this issue. If the list of institutions is in place, it gives certainty to those who were in the institutions. However, others who have had the same harm inflicted elsewhere should also be able to access the scheme. The two are not mutually exclusive.
