I thank the witnesses for coming in today. I will try to keep it as short as I possibly can. According to The Irish Times, the internal review looked at 29 cases that are still under way but not at the more than 200 completed cases taken against the State in which the Minister for Health was named as a defendant, including those around special needs.

Why did the Department not increase the scope of the review and investigation to include all cases taken against the State where the Minister for Health was named as a defendant? Is it possible the allegations could be found in these cases?
