Clarification on redress scheme urged
In a submission to the council’s committee of ministers, UCC’s Child Law Clinic said it believes the committee’s assessment that the redress scheme — set up after the European court’s landmark 2014 ruling in the Louise O’Keeffe case — is “legitimate and reasonable”, is “inaccurate as a matter of law”.
“It is essential that clarity be provided on the question of whether the redress scheme is sufficient to discharge the State obligations on foot of the Grand Chamber (court) decision in O’Keeffe,” its submission said.
