I think this is important for the witnesses because an awful lot is being said in the media and so on about what the State Claims Agency does. Effectively, there needs to be a change or an alteration, for want of a better to word, to its statutory remit to allow it more flexibility when it comes to these kinds of cases. Whether Mr. Breen likes it or not, if something does not change and if the laboratories do not indemnify, the State Claims Agency is left in a scenario in which it is still party to a case against these other ten women.
