Vol. 572 No. 3
279 Mr. Costello asked the Minister for Education and Science when he proposes to amend the Residential Institutions Redress Act 2002 and include additional residential institutions, particularly the Protestant institutions, within the terms of the redress board; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [22956/03]
Officials in my Department are consulting with other Departments and other interested parties in order to ascertain the eligibility of a number of proposed institutions. On completion of this process the eligible institutions that are identified can then be included in the Schedule of the Residential Institutions Redress Act 2002. It is my intention that an order listing a number of additional institutions will be laid before the Houses of the Oireachtas for approval in the near future.
