Mr. Des Carville:

Sorry, I would like to finish. There is plenty of litigation against the State through the Department of Finance or the Minister for Finance. The approach we are adopting here is entirely consistent with the approach we have adopted in the cases I have mentioned. I am quite happy to talk about this again as long as we can defend our position successfully, which is our objective. As I mentioned to Deputies Catherine Murphy and Connolly earlier, we will revisit this as we go through the process. I am not saying we are going to wait until the very end of this process. If we can get refreshed legal advice that tells me I can talk about this in greater detail, we will act on that. We will let the Chairman and the secretariat know straightaway.
