Mr. Ciarán Breen:

All the people we use as mediators are qualified mediators. They are completely independent in their function. When we talked about this very briefly the last day when we talked about confidentiality I said one area where there is confidentially in the process is within mediation. It is a confidentiality imposed by the mediator. The reason for that is he wants people to be able to freely put things through the mediation and in the event the mediation fails, people will not be faced with a situation where things can be relied on in a later trial or whatever. They follow a very definite process.
