The women’s legal action proceeded as two test cases that would set a precedent for any future cases. Today’s settlement also extends to the six other cases. “In terms of the redress scheme, the redress scheme was not based on the commission report, it went beyond the commission, significantly beyond it in terms of some of the suggestions that were made by the commission.
Under the current scheme, survivors of the mother and baby institutions will be eligible for payments of up to €65,000. Related Read 21.11.21 'They're waiting for more of us to die': Women whose children were taken react to redress scheme
