There is a great deal of concern about the Residential Institutions Redress Board and the fact that the clergy has stated its component of the overall cost. I am aware that the Leader was a member of the previous Cabinet which decided on this matter. While she would not reveal Cabinet secrets, was any projection made of the State's liability? It is estimated that between 20,000 and 30,000 people may avail of the redress board.
