Mr. Ciarán Breen:

Yes. Presumably, they would be successful and recover all of the costs. I agree with the Deputy that, in the context of the tragedy of these matters, it looks unsatisfactory. As a matter of us acting within our statutory remit, though, there is nothing we can do except maintain the State's position that it should not pay out when another party should, particularly in light of the large sums of money involved.
