Residential Institutions Statutory Fund Bill 2012: Second Stage
12:00 pm
Ruairi Quinn (Dublin South East, Labour)
I am saying this because in my constituency two secondary schools were closed unilaterally by religious orders, in some cases where money had been provided by the State to build the buildings. Happily, in one case, that building has now been repurchased by the State. I know the religious orders do not have the financial resources available to reach the €100 million that would be required.
