Maurice Quinlivan

Question:

140. Deputy Maurice Quinlivan asked the Minister for Education and Skills if he will request the State Claims Agency to provide information as to whether or not any of the seven settlements made as part of the ex gratia scheme set up following the judgment in a case (details supplied) were as a result of physical abuse only.

Written answers

Minister for Education and Skills

In earlier responses to Parliamentary Questions, I explained to the Deputy that because the type of abuse suffered by an individual is personal to that individual, the information can not be disclosed by any State body or organisation holding that data.
