I will move to the Irish Prison Service and compensation claims. My understanding is with in-cell sanitation claims, €3.1 million was paid in 2020. In 2020 there were 2,399 cases in total of compensation claims pending against the Department, with 1,855 of those relating to in-cell sanitation. What is the up-to-date position on that? What is the timeframe for trying to resolve all of those rather than them being prolonged and where we hear every time the service comes before us that the issue remains unresolved?
