I wish to help the Deputy on that. In seven weeks' time, the financial year of the State Claims Agency, SCA, will end. The agency will have to put a figure for the CervicalCheck cases into its financial statements. Mr. McCarthy will audit that. The agency will need a system with some rigour in order to be satisfied with what it puts into its audit and financial statements. Without giving the figure, can Mr. Breen tell us how it will do that? The agency will need to do this within seven weeks, one way or the other. How will it arrive at a figure for Mr. McCarthy's audit?
