Ms Bernie McNally:
I thank the Deputy for the question. I will come back to the case of the gentleman she referred to. The legislation is going through at the moment. It is going to Committee Stage so the Minister hopes it will be through in this term. That will result in Caranua ceasing officially to exist and the appropriate records being transferred and so on. Progress is being made on that.
With regard to the individual in question, we know there are no cases open, per se, but there is one individual - we will not discuss the details - for whom the Department, as distinct from Caranua, is trying to find a resolution. We are engaging with another agency on this issue to try to find a resolution. Something was recommended a few months ago and it was not to the individual's satisfaction, so we are still trying to work through the issue. Does Ms Conduit wish to comment?
