Seán Crowe (Dublin South West, Sinn Fein)

I move amendment No. 18:

In page 13, between lines 36 and 37, to insert the following:

"(7) The Minister shall appoint an assessment panel made up of four Board members, including the Chairperson, to assess the eligibility of new applications from former residents of scheduled institutions who did not apply to the Act of 2002 or who have had a court determination made arising out of their residency within a schedule institution.".

I do not propose to press the amendment as the Minister has made his position on the matter clear.
