What is the Redress Board?
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 industrial schools, reformatories and other institutions subject to state regulation or inspection.
The Board, which is wholly independent, is chaired by Mr Justice Smyth.
