Mr. Seán Ó Foghlú:
We have a range of different cases under way where we support the payment. They are claims under the State Claims Agency and so on, where we enter into cases we are committed to pay. The payments include a couple of Ombudsman judgments where we would have agreed to make a payment and injuries sustained on school properties where we had responsibility for making the payment. That might be in the community and comprehensive sector. There are other settlements. Overall the cases are very small.
