Clarification of Matters Relating to Meeting of 2 February 2016

Mr. Tony O'Brien:
The State accounts for this without accrued provisions for future legal costs. The State Claims Agency is funded on a pay-as-you-go basis through the in-year Vote of the HSE. The State Claims Agency would have a view on future liabilities but it is not reflected in the accounts of the HSE and we do not make provisions in the way a commercial entity would.
