There have been some court cases about this matter and obviously I cannot comment on that aspect of the report. There are legal issues arising that do not allow for detailed discussion of that aspect of it. When this issue was raised with great vehemence in the Dáil, it became clear that a scoping exercise needed to be undertaken. Mr. Guerin's exercise was then followed by a full-scale analysis by Mr. Justice O'Higgins.
