Much of this comes back to what seems to be a discrepancy between the recommendation made in the Quirke report and what the Government accepted in September 2013, the report of the interdepartmental group on the implementation of the Quirke report. Mr. Justice Quirke considered the issue of double recovery and discounted it. According to Mr. Martin's statement, the interdepartmental group specifically excluded institutions such as industrial schools on the basis of avoiding double payments.
