To clarify for anybody who has come in late, 1,600 former prisoners in Mountjoy Prison have lodged a claim. None of the cases has been paid out yet. They are still before the court. However, some of the legal costs already have been paid at this point. The legal fees are very high but the compensation has not come through at all yet. Some of the legal fees are being paid "as you go", before the cases are completed.
