I propose to take Questions Nos. 1363, 1366, 1369 and 1431 together.
Caranua, the Residential Institutions Statutory Fund Board, is an independent statutory body established pursuant to the Residential Institutions Statutory Fund Act 2012. Caranua provides regular updates on its website (www.caranua.ie) in regard to the number of applications received and related matters. I understand that by end August, Caranua had received 3,188 applications of which 3,059 applicants were deemed to be eligible, 75 applications were still being processed and 54 applicants were found not to be eligible to apply; 2,431 applicants have had their identification documents verified and application advisors had been in touch with 1,203 applicants. By that time Caranua had made payments worth €1,775,541 to 335 applicants.
I have arranged to have the Deputies' questions forwarded to Caranua with a view to having any additional available information provided to them directly as soon as possible.
