It is planned to increase the number of redress board members from five to eight, which should allow for 40 cases a week to be processed. It is important to emphasise that the current review of the commission's investigation committee has no impact on the work of the redress board. It is the Government's intention that the review of the investigation committee would be completed as soon as possible. Where amending legislation is considered necessary, it will be brought before the Houses of the Oireachtas expeditiously. The overriding aim is that the committee should be empowered to complete its mandate within a reasonable period of time without incurring exorbitant costs.
