In regard to the previous redress scheme, which I referred to earlier, it was an offence if someone disclosed the award. Is that what the Minister is changing here in regard to an applicant who got an award under that system? The Minister is making specific provision to have St. Patrick's Institution included, which means somebody who may have gone to the residential redress board and got something but was prevented from disclosing it is now allowed to disclose it. Is that the case? The Minister might clarify those points.
