The Criminal Injuries Compensation Tribunal is made up of qualified barristers and solicitors who provide services on a part-time basis. As the Deputy will appreciate, the Tribunal is entirely independent in the matter of individual decisions on applications for compensation. As Minister, I have no role in that regard.

However I have had enquiries made and I am advised that a decision on the claim referred to by the Deputy has been recently made by a Tribunal Member. I am advised that a letter has been issued to the applicant in that regard.
