They are the liquidated damages that the board might possibly reclaim. There are also PC sums that must be worked out and other ancillary claims that are perhaps available.

I am a TD for Dublin South-Central. The hospital is in the heart of the constituency. There are many houses around the perimeter of the hospital that have had different claims, perhaps against the board of CHI, relating to subsidence in their homes. Do the witnesses know how many claims, if any, were brought and if any compensation was paid out on foot of them? Is that figure included in the board's legal litigation costs?
