Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 20 February 2018
177. Deputy Maurice Quinlivan asked the Minister for Education and Skills if some of the seven settlements made as part of the ex gratia scheme set up following a judgment (details supplied) were a result of physical abuse only. [8152/18]
View answerIn responding to a PQ earlier this year, concerning the type of abuse suffered by the individuals concerned, I stated that it was inappropriate for me to comment on the type of abuse suffered by an individual. Firstly, this data is personal data and secondly, it is data that I do not and should not have access to given that the State Claims Agency is mandated to deal with school child sexual abuse litigation being taken against the State.
