The Malicious Injuries Acts 1981 - 1986 provide that compensation is payable by local authorities where damage exceeding €127 is caused unlawfully by one or more of a number of persons riotously assembled, or as a result of an act committed maliciously on behalf of an unlawful organisation, or as a result of an act committed maliciously by a person acting on behalf of an organisation outside the State that engages in or advocates the use of violence for purposes related to the administration of the State or Northern Ireland. The administration of the Malicious Injuries Scheme is a matter for the local authority concerned.
