Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 13 November 2012
505. Deputy Jim Daly asked the Minister for Justice and Equality when an application for payment to the Criminal Injury's Board will be granted in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Cork; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [50131/12]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs the Deputy may be aware the Scheme of Compensation for Personal Injuries Criminally Inflicted provides that the Criminal Injuries Compensation Tribunal is entirely independent in relation to 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 your Office was in contact with the Tribunal on 24 October, 2012 and that the Tribunal indicated that a decision had been formally notified to the person concerned on 1 October, 2012. I understand that the person concerned has not as yet responded to the Tribunal's letter with notification of his intention to either accept the award or lodge an appeal.
