2019 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 26 - Department of Education and Skills

Mr. Seán Ó Foghlú:

Caranua is in wind-down mode. The information the Deputy has is from the end of 2019, I think. Caranua is working its way through that process and the numbers of staff are reducing. All staff are on fixed-term or specific contracts, and numbers have fallen in recent months as the number of open applications has reduced. With the operational wind-down under way, 11 staff remain and the organisation expects to lower that number as it works its way through this process. We are also planning to publish legislation for the dissolution of Caranua, and that will need to be discussed in pre-legislative scrutiny, etc.
