199. To ask the Minister for Education and Skills in the context of the implications of the European Court of Human Rights judgment in the case of a person (details supplied) if he will review the case of a person as per Chapter 14 of the Ryan report as outlined in detail by me in a Dail Éireann debate of 11 July 2009 with a view towards facilitating redress; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

With the assistance of the Attorney General, I have sought further legal advice on the implications of the European Court of Human Rights judgment for outstanding school child abuse cases. The State Claims Agency has informed my Department that there are 45 current day school abuse claims on hands. I have asked my Department, with the Attorney General's Office and the State Claims Agency, to review these cases and any other relevant cases.
