If the information is not available to us today, I would like it to be made available. What I am interested in is finding out whether the assessment criteria employed in 1975 by the then board are precisely equivalent to those used in Sweden. If they are not, we are not comparing like with like. That would be an issue because, assuming everybody is alive, all 105 cases would possibly need to be reassessed.
Mr. Breen mentioned that no costs were involved in those cases yet and gave an estimated figure of approximately €750,000. Surely the solicitors and barrister would have had to be paid?
