I do not really have any other questions outside of those. I have questions around the Attorney General and regarding the advice he gave in relation to pyrite but we will not go into that here today. I will save the Minister of State that.
Regarding the State Claims Agency, the Minister of State referred to the projected overrun of €400,000 in 2024 being "principally due an increased number of claims arising from a significant general increase in court activity in recent years". She reports that these cases were settled on behalf of the Office of the DPP by the State Claims Agency which manages third-party legal cost claims against State authorities. Will the Minister of State speak to that for a moment to tell me the types of things involved?
