A clear recommendation was made in the case of this individual. The Revenue Commissioners have come before us in respect of other cases in the past and I know the case was fought but one individual was paid based on what the Office of the Ombudsman said.

Now another Department has received a report from the Office of the Ombudsman but is not paying the individual. What is preventing the Department from paying this person? Has the Department had legal advice that prevents it paying? The Ministers have been mentioned, have the seven or eight Ministers who held office since that recommendation was made refused to pay out?
