97 Deputy Seán Crowe asked the Minister for Education and Skills the provisions that have been made by him to obtain 50% of the cost of compensation paid out to victims of institutional abuse, arising from the provisions for the 2002 redress Act, who were resident in institutions that did not profess a Roman Catholic ethos; the moneys that have so far been paid to the State by such institutions; the history of discussions between civil servants and the representatives of these institutions; and his views that the failure to obtain or even to pursue 50% of compensation, arising from payments under the redress Act to residents of institutions professing a non-Roman Catholic ethos, from these institutions might imperil, as a result of possible court challenges, payments from Roman Catholic bodies and/or institutions, considering the provisions of Article 44.2 and 44.3 of the Constitution.
