Mr. Cian O'Carroll:

Certainly. Jonathan asked when I learned the position of the State Claims Agency. I probably would have learned it moments before my client. I hope I would operate an open disclosure policy between the two of us. I was not aware that it was the laboratory and not the State Claims Agency. We were not aware of that initially. It became apparent after the case was resolved when there was a press release to "Morning Ireland" a few days afterwards at the height of the media controversy. I accept that it was not at the request of the State Claims Agency. In fact, it would not be its form to seek confidentiality. We just did not know it was resisting that with the laboratory at the time. It is probably understandable that where there are co-defendants and multiple parties in a case, one is not going to come to us and tell us it is having trouble with the other. That is not typically the way it works. There is a united approach.
