I have covered a bit of ground in terms of injury warrants and the chief medical officer. Will the Prison Service put together a piece of paper for the benefit of the committee? The conversation moved from the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform to the criminal injuries compensation tribunal. I am not asking the witnesses to comment but why would somebody injured in the course of their work have to go to the High Court as opposed to the criminal injuries compensation tribunal to get compensation? This is a general question. What can people get in the High Court that they cannot get in the other and vice versa?
