The former nun, Ms Nora Wall, who will apply this week for a certificate declaring a miscarriage of justice arising from her quashed conviction on a charge of rape, attended the LOVE conference.
She declined to comment on her application this week to the Court of Criminal Appeal for a certificate declaring a miscarriage of justice.
It is believed the Director of Public Prosecutions will not contest her application. Such a certificate would entitle Ms Wall to pursue claims for damages against the State.
The application arises following a decision of the DPP in November 1999 to accept "fully and ungrudgingly" that Ms Wall and Mr Paul "Pablo" McCabe were entitled to be presumed innocent of all charges against them.
The appeal court had quashed the convictions of both in July 1999 following a number of errors in their trial in June 1999. Both had been convicted of the rape of a 12-year-old girl in St Michael's child care centre in Waterford in 1990.
