State Claims Agency: Discussion
1:30 pm
Mr. Ciarán Breen:
I will ask the Deputy to imagine something. For a moment I will put myself - I do not mean me personally - in the shoes of the US insurer. For various reasons, the insurer tell the State Claims Agency that it is not happy for us to deal with this case and settle. It tells us that this is its case, that it should have conduct of the case and that it should pay the compensation.
