Mr. Robert Watt:
They are between €200,00 and €250,000 in total. We were not happy with the outcome, but that is the nature of it. We were happy that we had won the case as it was a very important principle that we were establishing on the nature of the sick leave scheme, but it looks as if we will have to pay our own costs. It is worth mentioning to the Deputy that the level of absenteeism within the Civil Service was a significant issue and that this change has brought about significant savings, of multiples of the cost of the legal case.
