Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

Administration of Magdalen Restorative Justice Scheme: Report of Ombudsman

9:00 am

Mr. Jimmy Martin:

If the Deputy is saying independent of the Department, nothing has been done. What was arranged at the outset was that the citizens advice bureau would be available to people who want to make applications and required assistance. In practice, what has happened is that most of the women get in touch with somebody in the office and, because of the good report, they are normally assisted. In some cases staff have filled out the application forms. The staff have helped them do that.
