Mr. John Connaghan:

I will deal with Deputy Cullinane's question quickly. In regard to taking an opinion on one case, I would not like to venture an answer to his question without taking further legal advice on this. I do not think an individual settlement - without having legal advice on this - would tell me it applies to 209. Morally, I understand from where the Deputy is coming on this.

As regards responsibility and liability or accountability, the Scally review is currently under way and it will report by the end of August. We need to wait to see what it will state in regard to accountability.
