Caranua, the Residential Institutions Statutory Fund Board, is an independent statutory body established pursuant to the Residential Institutions Statutory Fund Act 2012. While officials from my Department meet regularly with officials from Caranua, it is the Board of Caranau, which is representative of survivors, that would have approved the introduction of financial limits. Caranua has, as a you know, a limited fund available to it and the introduction of financial limits was necessary to ensure that the number of survivors benefiting from the fund could be maximised.
