Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth
General Scheme of the Mother and Baby Institutions Payment Scheme Bill 2022
Ms Laura McGarrigle:
It would be that it meets the criteria. The heads of Bill provide that the Minister would obtain the consent of the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform to add the institution. However, the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth should be able to make that case and obtain that consent by showing that the institution meets the criteria outlined in the head. As such, it would be comparable and equity would determine that.
