I again raise the CAMHS scandal in Kerry. Will the Minister of State, Deputy Butler, provide updates on the north Kerry look-back review and the compensation scheme? I thank the Minister of State for visiting Kerry recently and meeting with individuals and their families. She has always made herself available to the families. I was in Leinster House on a number of occasions over the years when the Minister of State met with them and listened to their concerns. I want to ensure that all of these children, many of whom are young adults today, are adequately compensated and that all services are regularly available to them. These individuals and their families suffered greatly. They were misdiagnosed and mismedicated. I want to ensure that everything possible is done to make their lives some bit easier.

I thank the Deputy for raising this really important issue. I compliment him on his advocacy for the families and the children over many years. As he knows, a report relating to another group of children who unfortunately were harmed by the mental health services in Kerry was published recently. I visited and met with some of the families. At that time, I said that I would be coming forward very soon with a new compensation scheme. I will be able to announce the details of that tomorrow. Again, it will be a non-adversarial scheme. The Taoiseach was very conscious that we had to continue the same approach that has worked really well for 230 of the previous 240 children who have availed of the scheme. I will also announce details of the further look-back report. Over the recess at Easter, I will visit Kerry and meet some of the families that the Deputy asked me to meet and that I was not able to meet the last day I was there.
