I thank the Minister of State. I have just one more question. We know from the report of the Central Bank that when a claimant goes to PIAB, legal fees are modest, but that when they go beyond PIAB to the courts, there is a significant increase in legal fees. Has the Minister of State any proposals to put more pressure on claimants or encourage them to accept awards from PIAB as opposed to going to PIAB and straight to court afterwards?
