Summerhill inclusion decision

Summary

McDonald asks whether the Cabinet has decided on including Summerhill in the redress arrangements; the Tánaiste says the matter remains under consideration.

Both the Taoiseach and the Tánaiste have told me that the Cabinet is considering the inclusion of Summerhill in Wexford. Has the Cabinet reached a conclusion and a decision on that matter?

Comment on this

As the Deputy said, the Minister, Deputy Shatter, and the Minister of State, Deputy Kathleen Lynch, have met with the survivors of the Bethany Home. They are considering the approach to be taken on that issue. Similarly, the Summerhill issue is also under consideration. The Government will consider those issues when the Minister and the Minister of State have completed their consideration of them.
