As the Deputy refers to a claim in his question, I assume he is referring to the Residential Institutions Redress Board, which was established on the 16 December 2002 in order to award financial redress to adults who as children were subjected to abuse while in residential institutions for which the State had a regulatory or inspection function. The redress board is independent of my Department and as such I do not have access to the details of an individual's application. However, an applicant is entitled to contact the board directly or through their legal representative to inquire about his or her application.
