Mr. Ciarán Breen:
The Department is probably aware that the Department of Education and Skills has set up an ex gratiascheme which the State Claims Agency is managing. That has a judge of the High Court who sits, effectively, as a point of appeal. There were 49 applications to the scheme. We made determinations in 44 and we are awaiting further information on an additional five. Following our 44 determinations, we understand there are 21 appeals to the retired judge of the High Court.
