The Government has agreed details for the implementation of the Magdalene redress scheme.
Minister for Justice Alan Shatter said 250 applications had already been processed and around 600 applications have been received to date.
Mr Shatter said he would hope that provisional offers of payments would be made in the next four to six weeks.
Eligible women are entitled to a lump-sum payment of between €11,500 and €100,000, with amounts over €50,000 to be paid by weekly instalments.
