Minister for Justice Alan Shatter is contacting the religious orders who owned the Magdalene laundries in relation to the funding of the redress scheme.
The Department of Justice and Equality has also clarified that former industrial school residents who also spent time in laundries are not excluded from applying to the fund.
On whether a cap will be applied to payouts, the Department said it would await John Quirke’s report before making a decision.
The Magdalene Survivors Together group met the Minister for Justice to discuss the terms of reference for the Magdalene redress fund.
