Written Answers. - Residential Institutions Redress Scheme.

  235. Ms Enright asked the Minister for Education and Science, further to Parliamentary Question No. 216 of 1 June, if an institution (details supplied) in County Galway is one of the institutions identified for inclusion under section 4 of the Residential Institutions Redress Act 2002. [17321/04]

[458]   Mr. N. Dempsey: Section 4 of the Act enables additional institutions that are identified as reformatory schools, industrial schools, orphanages, children’s homes and special schools, in which children were placed and resident and in respect of which a public body had a regulatory or inspection function, to be added to the Schedule.

A number of institutions were identified for possible inclusion and I intend to bring the matter to Government shortly for its consideration. The institution named is under consideration.
