Question 458: To ask the Minister for Education and Science the reason a unit (details supplied) will not be included in those institutions earmarked for redress under the Residential Institutions Redress Act 2002. [27850/05]

Section 4 of the Residential Institutions Redress Act 2002 provides that in order for an institution to be considered for inclusion in the Schedule to the Act, the facility must have been subject to regulation or inspection by a public body.

Officials of my Department consulted with the Department of Health and Children regarding the unit referred to by the Deputy so that records held at that Department and its agencies could be examined. My Department has received a response from the Department of Health and Children stating that it does not have any records which indicate that a public body had a regulatory or inspection function regarding this unit. As a consequence it is not possible to give further consideration to the placement of this unit on the schedule.
