Ms Hynes made reference to outreach. The Caranua report states that while it would have preferred to place advertisements in all relevant and national newspapers, it was mindful that all operational costs, including advertising, must come from under the fund. Caranua had already spent €11 million on operations and administration. Surely, the survivor comes first. Caranua undertook to outreach to get to as many as possible. It has a duty of care to each survivor. Surely, Caranua should have held back on nothing to ensure that every survivor could be informed about the closing date. It seems to me that Caranua cut back.
