It is important to remember that without the contribution of €128 million from the religious congregations, to be provided under the terms of the indemnity agreement, the costs associated with the redress scheme would have been met entirely by the taxpayers. It has been said repeatedly, but it needs to be reiterated in order that people are properly informed on this issues, that the indemnity agreement is not costing the State money. The redress scheme, proposed by the Government and agreed by all sides of the House, will do so.
