Caranua is an independent statutory body and I have no role in relation to its day to day operations. The organisation publishes regular monthly updates on its website (www.caranua.ie) which contain information on the number of applications received, the current status of applications, the expenditure incurred, feedback and complaints, etc. The position as of 2nd August 2018 can be ascertained from the update published on 31 July 2018. If the information sought by the Deputy is not contained in the published updates, there is a facility for direct contact with Caranua through the dedicated e-mail for members of the Oireachtas.
