As Mr. Fox will appreciate, a complete failure of accountability would be the view in relation to this. This is something that caused such a catastrophic impact and there is not even a suspicion as to the causes. It is difficult to believe. I will park it there for now.
Regarding the legal cases that were dropped due to the powers of the officers involved, as I understand it, there are 50 to 60 cases and the estimated cost is about €240,000. Will Mr. Fox tell me what those costs are? Are they legal costs, lost fines, or what are they?
