Question:

340. Deputy Michael McGrath asked the Minister for Justice and Equality when a hearing will take place in relation to an application to the Criminal Injuries Compensation Tribunal (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [12362/18]

Written answers

Minister for Justice and Equality

The Criminal Injuries Compensation Tribunal administers the Scheme of Compensation for Personal Injuries Criminally Inflicted. Under the terms of the Scheme, the Tribunal is entirely independent in the matter of individual decisions on applications for compensation under the Scheme. The Deputy will appreciate that in these circumstances I cannot comment on individual cases.

If the Deputy or the applicant contacts the Tribunal directly with further details, they will be able to provide an update.
