Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

Administration of Magdalen Restorative Justice Scheme: Report of Ombudsman

9:00 am

Mr. Jimmy Martin:

Yes. We have been in touch with Dublin City Council. It is the owner of the Sean McDermott Street site. We raised the issue about a year ago. However, the plans for the site had not been decided. The council has decided there will be a memorial garden there now and it has asked for our assistance in contacting the women to engage with them as to what the memorial should be.
