Mr. Ciarán Breen:

We will have to look at every case as it presents itself because some cases necessarily will be different from others in terms of how they present themselves and consequences for the individuals involved. There is probably a co-defendant in all of these cases, which will be the laboratory. The one thing that we cannot allow ever to happen in the exercise of our statutory remit is to allow off the hook a party who should be substantially or wholly liable if they should be paying the damages to the injured party. That would be part of our approach to these cases in seeking the involvement of the US laboratory.
