I thank Mr. Corrigan for attending. I recognise the vital work he does for the State and thank him for it. Let me refer him briefly to some of the questions of the Vice Chairman on pay. I urge Mr. Corrigan to continue not to take on extra benefits. If he were a Deputy, as I am, he would be aware of the considerable anger of the people over very high salaries. I say this while recognising the absolutely vital work Mr. Corrigan does for the country, for which I thank him.
I was to ask many questions about the clinical indemnity scheme but given the length of time for which Deputy Fleming elaborated on it, I will ask only two questions. First, the cost of claims more or less doubled between 2009 and 2012. Can I have an explanation for that?
