I propose to take Questions Nos. 1364 and 1368 together.

In accordance with section 30 of the Residential Institutions Statutory Fund Act 2012 all expenses and other costs incurred by Caranua are met from the investment account established by the NTMA and funded from contributions received from religious congregations.

Caranua's annual accounts, which it is required to prepare under section 31 of the 2012 Act, will set out the position in regard to the organisation's income and expenditure. Caranua's 2013 accounts are currently being examined by the Comptroller and Auditor General.

I have arranged to have the Deputy's questions forwarded to Caranua with a view to having any additional available information provided to him directly as soon as possible.
