With respect to Mr. Watt, the Department at the time did not agree with the basis of the claims that were made by St. Michael's, Cheeverstown or the Daughters of Charity but eventually did. The memo here is quite clear, which to read it again, states: "In addition, there are other institutions similar to St. Michael's, Cheeverstown and the Daughters of Charity with residents who would have similar potential claims."

At that point, in 2011, the Department was very clear that there were similar claims. Would Mr. Watt accept that and that that is what the wording is saying?
