State Claims Agency: Discussion
1:30 pm
Mr. Ciarán Breen:
No. I can explain why questions were not asked at that point. This case was presented on it own facts. The US laboratory had written to us and given us an indemnity. The only issue, therefore, was the resolution of that case. We did not understand the wider implications; we only learned of those later.
