§ Rev. William McCreaasked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what compensation was paid to those families who moved from Donemana during recent disturbances; and if he is satisfied that such claims were made because of damage to property and furnishings by others.
§ Mr. Scott[pursuant to his reply, 23 January 1984]: After the Donemana disturbances, 11 claims were received by the Northern Ireland Office for compensation under the Criminal Damage (Compensation) (Northern Ireland) Order 1977. To date compensation has been paid in only one claim, to the sum of £398, and I am satisfied that the damage in that case was criminally caused by others. The remaining 10 claims are still under consideration and it is not possible to comment further on them at the present time.
