State Claims Agency: Discussion
1:30 pm
Mr. Ciarán Breen:
Not at that time. There were other cases, as we now know. There were 11 cases; ten plus one potential case. However, Ms Phelan's case was very advanced and was very much based on its particular facts, including the issue of non-disclosure which was set out in her pleadings. We did not know until a very late point in that case that there were women who were similarly affected. In fact, we found that out through the media.
