Mr. Kevin Bakhurst:
Because of Irish law, there is quite a high threshold. We have looked at dismissing people and we have taken external legal advice, because believe me, there was some appetite in some cases. However, the legal advice was that there is an extremely high threshold and if you go down this route, you could end up costing the company an awful lot of money and end up in a position that other public organisations have recently ended up with up - someone fighting it through the courts, being paid very long time while you do it.
