The time they spent in An Grianan is not being accepted under the redress scheme. However, that spent by their counterparts at similar training centres in Summerhill in Wexford and Stanhope Street in Dublin is covered under it. Will the Tánaiste, the new Minister for Justice and Equality and the Government ensure that there will be no additional delays or interruptions in respect of the implementation plan relating to the Magdalen ladies? Will they ensure that payments will be expedited and that the situation in respect of An Grianan will be examined? Will they further ensure that there will be a broader interpretation of Mr. Justice Quirke's recommendation on health care in order that the women, regardless of where they live, will have access to a level of care similar to that available to those with Health Amendment Act, HAA, cards?
