Is Mr. Mulvany aware of the reason the appeal was dropped? The State was going to appeal its own appeals officer in respect of these particular cases. As I understand it, there were potentially up to 10,000 people across all homes, but more than 300 had lodged appeals. These were going to be deemed eligible as a result of the appeals officer’s decision. The HSE and the Department of Health decided, with ministerial approval we have to assume, to appeal that decision, and then decided to withdraw its appeal. Does Mr. Mulvany know why that appeal was withdrawn?
