As the Deputy will be aware, the Supports for Survivors of Residential Institutional Abuse Bill 2024 completed its passage through the Houses of the Oireachtas on Wednesday 9 July. The Bill, which enables the provisions of ongoing health and education supports to survivors of abuse in residential institutions, now awaits the signature of the President.

It is my intention to commence the relevant provisions and progress the delivery of those supports to survivors in the near future.

With regard to the correspondence referred to by the Deputy, I can confirm that this is currently being considered by officials from my Department and that a response is being prepared.
