Mr. Seán Ó Foghlú:

The budget is provided on the basis of the redress payments. Caranua is working down its operations, and has announced that applications have ceased. It is working through the range of issues remaining, such as appeals and cases. It is unlikely that the organisation will have used every aspect of its available funding at the time of dissolution and it is unlikely that any significant cash assets will remain.

We must work that through that situation, but the issue for us concerns working with the groups of survivors regarding the services that might be in place following the dissolution of Caranua, and we have been engaging with survivors on that issue. I refer to whether it is possible to put services or some other arrangements in place that will continue to support them to a certain extent. Funding, however, for the sorts of activities requiring direct expenditure in respect of survivors is unlikely to continue after the dissolution of Caranua.
