Mr. Alex Chisholm:

Unfortunately not, because the ordinary process when cases go before trial is that at the end of the trial - it has been agreed that this is normally the case - the costs go according to the person who wins the case. In this situation, since the case has gone to appeal, that has been held over until that matter has been resolved. Until then, it is not clear to whom the costs will fall. Also, both parties must do an estimate of their costs which they share with the other party. Sometimes there is negotiation around that and sometimes it goes direct to external taxation. It would not be possible for us, during an interim stage, to give an estimate of the costs for those reasons. I apologise for that. I understand the question fully and would like to be in a position to answer more fully. In regard to performance quality, the Deputy asked if we could agree the standards with An Post.
