Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 25 February 2014
529. Deputy John O'Mahony asked the Minister for Justice and Equality further to Parliamentary Question No 321 of 12 November 2013, if he will provide an update on the case in question and when the person will receive payment; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [9280/14]
Amharc ar fhreagraI can inform the Deputy that under the terms of the Scheme of Compensation for Personal Injuries Criminally Inflicted the Criminal Injuries Compensation Tribunal is entirely independent in the matter of individual applications that fall to be considered by the Tribunal.
However, in order to be of assistance in the matter I have had enquiries made with the Tribunal on his behalf. I understand that the Tribunal has made a decision in the case. I am further informed that a copy of the decision will shortly issue direct to the Applicant for their consideration.
