Mr. Greg Dempsey:

The Department's lawyers are looking at the submission from the HSE. I guess that before we go to the Office of the Attorney General, we would have to form our own view on whether there is real merit in the HSE's position. If we considered that there was real merit, then we would go to the Office of the Attorney General while at the same time checking the position of the Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation. In terms of timing, we hope to do that in the next three weeks.
