This is not me saying this. I want to be clear on the facts. On page 11, in the summary, under Contributions from Religious Congregations, the last paragraph states:
Government policy is that the congregations who ran the institutions would share equal liability of the €1.52 billion cost of redress i.e. contribute €760 million.
The point of that, I would imagine, is that the policy at the time is that there would be equal liability, which is the question I put.
