The Board of Caranua made this decision taking into account the Department’s Review, the expenditure to date and the estimation of future possible expenditure of the limited fund provided to Caranua to support survivors.

In 2018 Caranua introduced facilities for one to one meetings with survivors in our offices, 48 survivors availed of this facility. In November 2018 Caranua held an outreach day with deaf survivors at the offices of the Cork Deaf Association. Three outreach days were also facilitated in partnership with Right of Place Second Chance in their offices in Cork, Limerick and Waterford. Two outreach days for survivors were supported by the Christine Buckley Centre for Education and Support at their offices and at Caranua’s offices in 2018.
