The Redress Board was set up under the Residential Institutions Redress Act 2002 to make fair and reasonable awards to persons who, as children, were abused while resident in Irish industrial schools, reformatories and other institutions subject to state regulation or inspection. (Note that the Board no longer has the power to accept new applications.) Information on the site includes newsletters, annual reports, details of application and hearing procedures, and FAQs. The 2002 Act, plus Amendments and Regulations are available to download, as is the Compensation Advisory Committee’s 2002 report Towards Redress and Recovery (“the Ryan Report”).
