Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

Administration of Magdalen Restorative Justice Scheme: Report of Ombudsman

9:00 am

Mr. Jimmy Martin:

I do not know the full details of those particular cases. What has happened over the period is that various people have applied to be made wards of court and have been successful in their application. The money has been paid to them. In one or two cases the women have died and the lump sum payments will be paid to their estate.
