Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 29 September 2015
526. Deputy Jonathan O'Brien asked the Minister for Education and Skills the number of consultants engaged by Caranua; the payments made to date; the matters that they are consulting on; the details of any reports they have produced; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [33049/15]
View answerCaranua, the Residential Institutions Statutory Fund Board, is an independent statutory body established pursuant to the Residential Institutions Statutory Fund Act 2012. Section 7(7) of that Act provides that my approval be sought where the Board wishes to engage consultants or advisers. A number of consultancies have been approved under that section. The detailed information sought by the Deputy, in particular that regarding payments made to consultants is not available to me as it is a day to day matter that is the responsibility of the Board. I have arranged to have the Deputy's question forwarded to Caranua with a view to having a response provided to him directly as soon as possible.
