A commitment was given in the Dáil by the Taoiseach on the women or their families in the cohort of 209 women in relation to legal cases. The Taoiseach made a commitment - and I am paraphrasing - that the objective was for the women not to have to take legal cases but that the State would take the cases. As such, the women would not have to do it directly themselves. What engagement would there have been before that commitment was made? Is that possible when a statement of claim has already issued and proceedings have already commenced? Is there anything new that has come in to mediate following that statement?
