‹ Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Human Rights in Northern Ireland. Assistance for Victims of Alleged Ill-Treatment
Summary
Enright asked whether the Government would fund legal, medical and financial help for victims; the Minister said he would answer if a separate question were tabled.
In connection with people who are brutalised, who have a genuine case and want to bring it before the courts, either in Northern Ireland or in Europe, the Minister said that if they make reports to his Department he will help them. Would he or his Department be in a position to provide legal, medical and financial assistance to help these people to obtain damages and compensation because they were brutalised by the security forces?
Comment on this
If the Deputy puts down a question I will deal with it in detail. I have to accept the Chair's ruling.
