Residential Institutions Statutory Fund Bill 2012: Committee and Remaining Stages
10:00 am
Averil Power (Fianna Fail)
I move amendment No. 9:
In page 12, subsection (2)(a), line 7, to delete "and financial".
I raised this issue in my comments on the earlier amendments. I am proposing to delete the words "and financial" in this subsection in order to ensure victims can access the fund on the basis of the hurt and torment they endured as children, without being subjected to an unfair means test. I have already made the case for this provision.
