State Claims Agency: Discussion

Mr. Ciarán Breen:
Yes, and we can only ever pay out where there is an acknowledgement that the breach of duty on the part of the State led to the particular clinical outcome and the compensation for that. I am sorry for emphasising this so often but, as a matter of law, that is the way it works. We cannot stray outside the law in regard to our response.
