I am saying that, if that is needed, Caranua needs to tell the Department what is required so all victims actually get the supports that they need. There is an opportunity for Caranua to make an argument here. It may or may not be able to provide the necessary support through surplus funds but, if it is unable to, there is an obligation on it to say that it cannot. The legislation would then have to be reviewed and it may be that more money is offered.
I want to come now to the issue of the overall funds. Was €110 million the total amount that came from the religious congregations to be used for supporting survivors?
