The position in relation to the eighteen religious congregations, that were party to the 2002 indemnity agreement, making further substantial contributions by way of reparation following publication of the Ryan Report is that while responses have been received from some congregations, a full set of responses from all the congregations is awaited.

The Panel appointed by the Government to assess the Statements of Resources submitted by the Religious Congregations following the publication of the Ryan Report has submitted its Report. The Report is under examination prior to being submitted to the Government. The intention to make public the conclusions of the Panel has already been referred to. The arrangements for the publication of the Panel's Report and the offers of contributions from the religious congregations will be considered by the Government.
