Dan Boyle (Cork South Central, Green Party)

Is it proposed to introduce an amendment to the Residential Institutions Redress Act to include victims of the former Magdalene laundries? I also request a debate on the fact that compensation payments will probably surpass the figure of €1 billion which the Comptroller and Auditor General indicated would be a likely final sum. Surely it is time for the House to hold a review of the operation of the Residential Institutions Redress Act.
