The case in question is difficult without all the details before us, but it involved two private parties, namely, Quinn Insurance Limited and PwC. It did not specifically involve an injured party seeking the benefit of the fund. It was clear the security of costs was requested by one party and public money was used to provide that security of costs. Mr. Breen can understand our concern to understand why public money was used in a private case. Who were the decision-makers in making that €27 million available?
