I raise this issue because there are more women coming forward. We know from media coverage that in Emma Mhic Mhathúna's case the settlement was in two parts, against the laboratory, Quest Diagnostics, and the HSE. The media coverage states that the HSE accepted liability. Can Mr. Connaghan explain for what the HSE accepted liability and, also, is this the first time the HSE has accepted liability in court in any of these cases?
