Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills
General Scheme of the Education (Supports for Survivors of Residential Institutional Abuse) Bill 2023: Discussion
Ms Maeve Lewis:
Indeed, and we have an advocacy service, mainly concerned with supporting people through the criminal justice system, the child protection system, and so on. Again, it is a resourcing issue. I do not believe any of the organisations represented here this morning would have the resources or the capacity to provide that service and, indeed, to disseminate information about the provisions of this Bill.
