Ms Kate Duggan:
I was contextualising. To providing context, this was something that went on for seven years at the agency. When I came into it a decision was made to mediate to draw that to a conclusion. When we see what the legal costs were prior to mediation versus the costs of mediation for conclusion of the process, we could not have allowed another three or four years, and hundreds of thousands of euro, going to a full case hearing. That is what I meant.
