Administration of Magdalen Restorative Justice Scheme: Report of Ombudsman
9:00 am
Mr. Peter Tyndall:
-----that originally managed the institutions in which they lived and worked. These congregations themselves have aged and decreased in number. They are not best placed to undertake this process. A variety of approaches could be used, such as the appointment of advocates for these women, but simply waiting for the process to take its course through contacting the Office of Wards of Court will not do. An approach must be taken whereby someone is placed alongside these women to assist with these applications and ensure they are submitted expeditiously.
