Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills

Engagement with Caranua

4:00 pm

Ms Mary Higgins:

Somebody said something about the €15,000 limit coming from survivors. If I said that, I have no recollection of saying it. I do not know why I would have said it. We had a conversation with survivors about introducing a limit. Many people said it should have been there from the beginning and it would have been fairer. When we complete the review in the coming months we will be able to give feedback on what people think about that.

Deputy Thomas Byrne asked about section 23 and putting aside confidentiality and legal advice. I ask Mr. O'Callaghan to answer that.
