We get those figures all the time in the context of the health sector but we are not getting them from in respect of other Departments. As I stated, the rough estimate by the State Claims Agency of the overall figure is €4.2 billion, which is taxpayers' money. It is important that every Department keep us advised of the liabilities that are arising and when agreements are reached. We do not need the detail in respect of individual cases but should be made aware on an annual basis.
