It relates to a number of cases. We have, for example, Boal v. the Minister for housing. These cases are very difficult to predict. They can finish quite early or be protracted. There can also be significant costs around discovery, for example. I think the Boal case arises out of defective concrete blocks. Donegal County Council is involved in a legal case, too, in terms of a pathfinder around defective concrete blocks.
