Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 17 November 2020
513. Deputy Catherine Connolly asked the Minister for Education the status of the interdepartmental committee examining the future needs of survivors; the membership of the committee; the details of the engagement by the committee with survivors of abuse in residential institutions; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [36643/20]
View answerI understand that the interdepartmental committee will be reconvened before the end of the year. As well as my Department, membership is drawn from Departments where the remit is to provide for services for people, e.g., the Department of Health, the Department of Employment and Social Protection, the Department of Justice, the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade and the Department of Housing, Local government and Heritage. My Department's representative has met with survivors.
