I do not find that reply helpful. I am faced with what the Comptroller and Auditor General is saying. I accept, at face value, the argument that the Department was in a corner in 2014 but that did not apply in 2013 and the Comptroller and Auditor General made the same finding for that year. I do not find Mr. Quinn's answer satisfactory.

On personal injuries, Mr. Quinn gave a sum for employment cases, but what is the total figure? Were there savings as a result of the establishment of the State Claims Agency? If Mr. Quinn cannot give us an answer to that question, where does responsibility lie for telling us?
