Minister for Education and Skills

Caranua, the Residential Institutions Statutory Fund Board, is an independent statutory body established pursuant to the Residential Institutions Statutory Fund Act 2012. The processing of individual applications and related administrative issues are matters for Caranua itself and I have no role in the process. I understand from enquiries made of Caranua that it receives only a small number of queries from TDs and that this volume of queries does not at the moment justify incurring the additional costs that would be associated with putting in place a dedicated contact line for TDs.
