Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 20 January 2026
828. Deputy Ivana Bacik asked the Minister for Children, Disability and Equality when the annual report for the mother and baby payments (redress scheme) will be published; and the reason it has not been published as of June 2025. [3359/26]
View answerThe Mother and Baby Institutions Payment Scheme opened for applications in March 2024.
Section 12 of the underpinning legislation for the Scheme provides for annual reports to be prepared by the Chief Deciding Officer of the Scheme. These reports are to include details on applications, determinations, staffing and training.
I have recently received the first annual report for the Scheme, am currently reviewing it, and will publish it shortly.
