I move amendment No. 36:

In page 14, between lines 13 and 14, to insert the following:

“Report on creation of support fund for those with additional needs 19.(1) The Minister shall, within 6 months of the passing of this Act, lay a report before both Houses of the Oireachtas on the potential to make provision for a support fund for persons who developed additional needs as a direct or indirect result of time spent in a relevant institution.

(2) The report under subsection (1)shall include analysis of legal options to require relevant parties to contribute to the fund.

(3) For the purposes of this section, “relevant parties” means persons, organisations, the estates of persons, or other entities involved at any time in the operation, management, administration or ownership of relevant institutions, or in the operation or administration of illegal vaccine trials or any other medical experimentation on relevant persons.”.
