Mr. Ciarán Breen:

Absolutely not, and I accept that. Therefore, our aim always is to try and go the mediation route and we constantly ask for that. One of the reasons though that mediation is not taken up, in my view, as much as might be, is that there are some costs implications for plaintiffs' solicitors when they engage with that process, in that they will not get the same level of costs, or, certainly, that is their view. Therefore, there is a reluctance sometimes, not always. We have some firms of plaintiffs' solicitors who are good about engaging with us in respect of mediation.
