As the Deputy may be aware, the Tribunal is comprised of a Chairperson and six Ordinary Members who are practising barristers or solicitors. They provide their services on a part-time basis to the Tribunal. There are currently no vacancies to be filled on the Criminal Injuries Compensation Tribunal. I am satisfied that the Tribunal is fulfilling its functions under the Scheme.
