Mr. Ciarán Breen:
I do not know if the Chair is aware of this but, following a report I did a number of years on the thalidomide issue, there was a scheme whereby the State offered all of the survivors a sum of approximately €62,500. A number of the thalidomide survivors took that. Other thalidomide survivors decided that was not what they wanted to do. They wanted to go to court with their cases.
