422. Deputy Máire Devine asked the Minister for Education and Youth the agreement made in November 2025 between the Government and institutional abuse survivors who had been on hunger strike. [73341/25]

In the context of a recent protest by a group of survivors outside Leinster House, both An Taoiseach and the then-Minister Education and Youth, Minister McEntee, engaged with the group concerned on a number of occasions in relation to the issues they had raised.

On the basis of engagement at a meeting of 10 November, and in the context of an ongoing mediation process, the group agreed to cease their protest. The independent mediator has engaged with both the group and with relevant Government Departments. This work is proceeding as a matter of urgency with a view to a full resolution as soon as possible.
