Mr. Derek Moran:

Not at this juncture. We are looking at the terms of the appeal and the Government will have to consider how it responds to that in due course. It will be December before it does that. In the end, we will be represented. Will we be represented at the same level that we were heretofore? Again, the approach taken will be determined by the legal advice. This time around it is the Commission appealing the decision rather than Ireland making the running, which possibly changes the balance. At this juncture it will continue to cost for the duration to the next hearing, which probably will not happen for two to three years. I could not say what the costs will be at the end.
