Mr. John McCarthy:
In 2013 we paid just under €4 million in respect of third party costs. That represented 60% of the corresponding claims submitted to us. There would have been a range of factors behind this, including some areas of work that would have been ruled not appropriate and others at rates that needed to be reduced. On a quick analysis of the 2013 payments, the order of reduction was approximately 40%.
