The Education Finance Board is an independent statutory body established pursuant to the Commission to Inquire into Child Abuse (Amendment) Act, 2005. My officials have made enquiries of the Board who advise that there has been a significant increase in the number of applications received which has given rise to an inevitable and regrettable increased delay in clearing payments to applicants. The Board is making every effort to finalise the processing of all outstanding applications as quickly as possible.
