- Public Accounts Committee: Caranua Financial Statements 2017 (17 Oct 2019)
David Cullinane: In some or all cases, I understand there may be difficulties in the presentation of evidence. I am saying that, in process terms, the percentage of cases for which evidence was unavailable was not 5%, 10%, or 20%, it was 56%, 50% and 55%. That brings me to the point that Deputy Munster was making. There are a number of survivors who may get nothing. I come to those 22 survivors who...

David Cullinane: How much is the surplus?
- Public Accounts Committee: Caranua Financial Statements 2017 (17 Oct 2019)
David Cullinane: Are the 22 to which I referred included among that number, or are they a separate category?
- Public Accounts Committee: Caranua Financial Statements 2017 (17 Oct 2019)
David Cullinane: Exactly.
- Public Accounts Committee: Caranua Financial Statements 2017 (17 Oct 2019)
David Cullinane: Are those 312 people also dependent on the surplus money?
- Public Accounts Committee: Caranua Financial Statements 2017 (17 Oct 2019)
David Cullinane: Is it that the surplus money might well be available?
- Public Accounts Committee: Caranua Financial Statements 2017 (17 Oct 2019)
David Cullinane: I am trying to figure out to what extent that money will be available.
- Public Accounts Committee: Caranua Financial Statements 2017 (17 Oct 2019)
David Cullinane: Okay.
- Public Accounts Committee: Caranua Financial Statements 2017 (17 Oct 2019)
David Cullinane: I will offer an opinion on this. I appeal to the chair and to Ms Downes to look favourably on those 22 cases. Caranua should do what it can for them.
- Public Accounts Committee: Caranua Financial Statements 2017 (17 Oct 2019)
David Cullinane: However many there might be, I think that some discretion must be used. If we need to come back and amend legislation in the Dáil, so be it, if that is necessary.
- Public Accounts Committee: Caranua Financial Statements 2017 (17 Oct 2019)
David Cullinane: 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...
- Public Accounts Committee: Caranua Financial Statements 2017 (17 Oct 2019)
David Cullinane: Under law, any surplus money from the religious congregations would then go to the national children's hospital. I thought there was also a figure of €1.38 million.
- Public Accounts Committee: Caranua Financial Statements 2017 (17 Oct 2019)
David Cullinane: Does the Bill state that only the surplus money from the religious congregations should go to the national children's hospital or does it state that interest earned on the money should also go to the national children's hospital?
- Public Accounts Committee: Caranua Financial Statements 2017 (17 Oct 2019)
David Cullinane: Pardon?
- Public Accounts Committee: Caranua Financial Statements 2017 (17 Oct 2019)
David Cullinane: It goes to the statutory fund. What is the total figure that will go to the national children's hospital?
- Public Accounts Committee: Caranua Financial Statements 2017 (17 Oct 2019)
David Cullinane: Does that mean that €1.38 million of interest will go back to survivors and the operation of the fund?
- Public Accounts Committee: Caranua Financial Statements 2017 (17 Oct 2019)
David Cullinane: I am not disputing that, I am trying to get clarity on what will be the overall figure. The figure of €110 million was the cap on whatever money would come in from the religious institutions. That is to be spent on Caranua, supporting the survivors and their running costs, I imagine.
- Public Accounts Committee: Caranua Financial Statements 2017 (17 Oct 2019)
David Cullinane: Do we now have €110 million plus the €1.38 million in interest?
- Public Accounts Committee: Caranua Financial Statements 2017 (17 Oct 2019)
David Cullinane: I am trying to establish if that €1.38 million is separate from the €110 million.
- Public Accounts Committee: Caranua Financial Statements 2017 (17 Oct 2019)
David Cullinane: Okay.
