Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 4 November 2014
516. Deputy Denis Naughten asked the Minister for Justice and Equality further to Parliamentary Question No. 154 of 30 January 2014, when a decision is expected to be made on an application in respect of a person (details supplied) by the Criminal Injuries Compensation Tribunal under the terms of the scheme of compensation for personal injuries criminally inflicted; the reason for the delay; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [41499/14]
View answerI can inform the Deputy that under the terms of the Scheme of Compensation for Personal Injuries Criminally Inflicted that the Criminal Injuries Compensation Tribunal is entirely independent in the matter of individual applications that fall to be considered under the Scheme. However, in order to be of assistance in the matter I have had enquiries made with the Tribunal on the Deputy's behalf.
I understand that the application mentioned by the Deputy has been submitted to a Tribunal member for consideration. The Tribunal will notify the applicant directly as soon as the member has reached a decision.
