Paul Gogarty (Dublin Mid West, Green Party)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to raise a matter of urgent national importance, namely, the implications of yesterday's High Court award of €370,000 to a man who was abused at a Kilkenny industrial school including the need to review the awards made by the Residential Institutions Redress Board given that the court decision allows for well above the average award from the board and that only 12 of the 2,500 awards so far made by the board were in the €200,000 to €300,000 range.
