Mr. Ciar?n Breen:

Yes, that happened once or twice. For example, it might happen sometimes when the settlement agreed with the plaintiff is at a level that reflects complex liability or causation issues and where the legal fees charged to the plaintiff and payable by the State reflect the complexity and so on. They can be disproportionate in those circumstances. Such cases rarely arise.
