Will Mr. Dempsey report back that the matter arose at this morning's meeting and has been identified as an issue that needs to be progressed? It is important that it happen, and the Accounting Officer outlined why it is important. We were not aware of it before this meeting. It would be helpful in shortening the period for settling cases but would also help reduce legal costs and might allow more cases into mediation. Mr. Breen might confirm that is the case.
