Residential Institutions Statutory Fund Bill 2012: Second Stage
12:00 pm
Rónán Mullen (Independent)
Go raibh míle maith agat. Ba bhreá liom fáilte a chur roimh an tAire. I welcome the Bill in so far as it goes. It is good and wholesome that we are at this point with a statutory fund and that more will be done to assist those who suffered abuse of any kind in institutions over the years. I was not in a position to hear the Minister's comments. Am I correct in thinking that the only people who will benefit from the fund are people already included in the redress scheme?
