I would have thought the HSE would be a driver in that regard because we are seeing this as a stated contingent liability. That will include the legal costs. It was the non-availability of the courts that appears to have brought about this change. We need to pursue this matter separately and we may have to look at this chapter in its own right because I am not at all satisfied that this is working in the way it should be.

Obviously, Mr. Mulvany is acting CEO of the HSE. I understand there is a recruitment process under way. On the previous occasion, there was difficulty in filling that role. What is the status of that process?
