Administration of Magdalen Restorative Justice Scheme: Report of Ombudsman

9:00 am

Mr. Peter Tyndall:

I think the estimates were set when the scheme was being put in place. The Chairman would have to ask the Department whether money was identified in budgets. I suspect it may not have been, but the amount spent to date is half of the upper estimate when the scheme was first established.
