Mr. Fred Barry:

I am restricted in what I can say on claims that are in progress and that is why I have given a figure for claims that have been determined. Of the ones that have been determined, that is about 50% of the claims that have been submitted have already been determined. I have heard some extraordinary figures mentioned externally as to where we may end up on claims but the total to date is less than €1 million. I know that €1 million is a lot of money but in the context of what we are doing here, I will say that is within the budget provisions that we have been given by the Government.
