Mr. Ciarán Breen:

The situation is that, unfortunately, in a High Court case involving an infant, the High Court struck down the index used - the harmonised index of consumer prices - as being a suitable index. Following that case, the Minister for Justice has established an interdepartmental group which is looking at that index with a view to revising it and making it a more suitable index for the making of PPOs. There are six old PPOs that are in place in regard to the original index. In the meantime, we are making interim payments wherever we can for families for three, five or ten years.
