I do not expect the Minister of State to comment on particular cases but to respond only in general to the point. I have absolute confidence in NERA but despite the fact that there is strong legislation in place in this area, those involved in an exploitative situation such as what we are discussing may not have either the resources or physical ability to utilise this law, particularly against large companies per se. A person can bring a complaint to NERA but to obtain compensation he or she must go through the court process.
