Ms Patricia Cronin:

Effectively, they were two former members of the Department of Posts and Telegraphs and our Department has continued responsibility for pension payments. In respect of those people, they were not originally entitled to pension payments but the law changed and they subsequently became entitled. After that though, there was a disagreement between them and the Department in respect of the amount of the pension payments. They took legal cases against us and, as I recall, we made settlement without going to court. That is what the two settlements were. They were people who worked a long time ago for the Department of Post and Telegraphs.
