I can inform the Deputy that under the terms of the Scheme of Compensation for Personal Injuries Criminally Inflicted, the Criminal Injuries Compensation Tribunal is entirely independent in the matter of individual applications that fall to be considered under the Scheme. However, to assist the Deputy, I have had enquires made with the Tribunal on his behalf. I understand from the Tribunal that the tragic incident in this case gave rise to three applications to the Tribunal and that all three applications have been submitted to a member of the Tribunal for decision. I am informed by the Tribunal that the applicant will be notified directly as soon as the decisions become available.
