Jan O'Sullivan (Limerick East, Labour)

My colleague, Deputy Costello, who tabled this question, had a particular concern about Bethany Home in respect of which he received correspondence. Will the Minister indicate whether it is one of the institutions being considered? It would not have been under the auspices of any of the bodies which signed the indemnity agreement. Will the Minister clarify whether the fact that it was not run by one of these bodies would rule it out?

In regard to the recent High Court judgment which awarded a considerable sum to somebody who survived residential institutional abuse, does the Minister intend to amend the Act?
