Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 7 February 2012
381 Deputy John O’Mahony asked the Minister for Justice and Equality when a person (details supplied) in County Kildare will receive their payment under the criminal injury compensation scheme; the reason for the delay in payment; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [6690/12]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs the Deputy will be aware, the Criminal Injuries Compensation Tribunal is entirely independent in the matter of individual applications under the Scheme. However, in order to be of assistance in the matter, I have had enquiries made with the Tribunal on your behalf. I understand that the Tribunal is awaiting reports concerning the incident in which the applicant in question was injured and that as soon as the information required becomes available the Tribunal will be in a position to further process the application.
