What was the Minister talking about, then, when he said the following?

This report is a start in understanding the association [the established association, as found by Dr. Darina O'Flanagan, the then director of the Health Protection Surveillance Agency, now retired] between the vaccine and narcolepsy. However, our main focus is on the people affected and their families.

What he should have added, Mr. Breen is telling me, is "provided they can prove their case".
