I can confirm that the Government has recently approved the addition of a further 13 institutions to the Schedule to the Residential Institutions Redress Act 2002. In accordance with Section 4 of that Act, a draft of the order necessary to add these 13 institutions to the Schedule has now been laid before each of the Houses of the Oireachtas in order to seek a resolution of approval of the draft order from each House. I understand that, prior to the Houses of the Oireachtas discussing or approving the draft order, the matter must first be referred to the Joint Committee on Education and Science for its consideration.

I can confirm that the institution referred to by the Deputy is included in the draft order.
