Caranua oversight
Catherine Connolly asks whether the Education Minister has authorised Caranua to spend survivors’ funds on expensive private property without proper board oversight. The Taoiseach says he does not have the precise information and will try to answer later that day or the next.
I asked about the Residential Institutions Statutory Fund Act 2012 last week, but I did not get an answer. I am raising it again now. This legislation provides for oversight over the board, which is no longer there, and over the CEO, who is now functioning without the oversight of a board. It seems to have been decided to use the dwindling fund to go into private property at a huge cost. Has the Minister for Education and Skills given Caranua permission under section 7(7) of the 2012 Act to spend the survivors' fund on astronomical rent? I asked that question last week and I am asking it again this week. I will ask it every week until I get an answer. What other permissions for contracts have been given by the Minister as he has to do under the Act?
