Mr. Tony O'Brien:

Yes, but in terms of that aspect of it, as distinct of our administration of it since then, no one in the country who was potentially eligible could have failed to have been aware of it given the amount of focus that it had at the time.

This issue has significant historical origins in that it arose from a misinterpretation of the entitlements of the health boards that existed at the time and that collected this money. There was considerable public attention given to it. Therefore, in the context of anyone at the time being incorrectly charged, it is unlikely that the level of publicity and attention that attended to it would have been insufficient.
