The Taoiseach mentioned the remarks by the ladies from the Defence Forces. When an agency under the Taoiseach's remit found out that a senior person was autistic and suffered from epilepsy, that person's employment was to be terminated. The Minister did not allow that to happen, but the matter is being fought before the courts. This goes back to the Revised Estimate. The family does not want to be in court. The agency apparently sees it as the only route and will not use mediation.
