Ms Mellissa English:
I would not like to speculate. All I can say is module 1 is €2.1 million. Module 2 was an awful lot shorter. It was just a High Court discovery aspect and a discovery hearing in the Supreme Court. It is a much shorter module because, as we all know, her case ended when the Supreme Court issued its decision in June 2024 that her claim for damages is not stateable because it is a collateral attack on Members' utterances, which are protected by the Constitution and therefore no claim for damages is sustainable.
