The Deputy should note 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 under the Scheme. However, in order to be of assistance in the matter I have had enquiries made with the Tribunal on his behalf.

I understand that the application referred to by the Deputy is being actively processed by the Tribunal at present and that the file will be ready for submission to a Tribunal member for decision shortly. At this stage of the process, I understand that it is not possible for the Tribunal to estimate a time-frame for the actual payment of any award.
