Mr. Mark Griffin:

The accounts refer to "possible future EU and other legal actions." At any point, there is a potential vulnerability to the State where the European Commission may determine that we have not transposed the directive in time - we are not in that space just yet - or we have not transposed it properly. In other legal cases currently under way before the national courts, damages may arise - we hope not - relating to the State's performance of its functions. We also have judicial review cases on a number of issues. These factors could materialise in future years, but for us to try to put a figure on them would be speculative and inappropriate at this stage.
