No additions to Redress Board list

VICTIMS of abuse in a number of residential institutions could miss out on compensation because the Government is insisting there is no evidence some facilities were State-controlled.

No additions to Redress Board list

Education Minister Mary Hanafin has told the Dáil there are no plans to add further institutions to the list covered by the Residential Institutions Redress Board (RIRB).

This is the independent body set up in 2002 to compensate those abused as children in industrial schools, reformatories and other institutions subject to State regulation or inspection. There are 144 institutions on the RIRB list, and the deadline for applications is midnight next Thursday.
