Ms Niamh O'Donoghue:

Yes. We operate a range of public offices, so we will have people come into offices and, unfortunately, have accidents such as slipping on steps, falling ill or whatever. Personal injuries claims could arise in that regard. There are a range of different aspects, both in terms of personal property, medical expenses and personal injuries.
