Public Accounts Committee

Special Report No. 96 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Child Abuse Inquiry and Redress

9:00 am

Mr. Seán Ó Foghlú:

The redress scheme is not open. It has been closed. It was closed on a statutory basis following the Government decision post-Ryan report. It is not that there is an open scheme to which this can be applied. It would be a matter of amending legislation.
