Ms Catherine Hynes:

I think the Deputy is referring to the Comptroller and Auditor General's special report on the cost of the child abuse inquiry and redress. The lessons that are supposed to be learned from that will apply to redress schemes in the future. It could be argued that Caranua was not a redress scheme. A recommendation from the Comptroller and Auditor General was that the Department would carry out a post hocevaluation of the redress scheme, which we are in the process of finalising. In doing that, we look back at the original estimates of the cost of redress and the actual projections of how many people would be involved. We expect to have this finalised shortly.
