I have a concern about the State Claims Agency. There is a piece of correspondence further down that lists all the Departments and agencies for which there is State Claims Agency cover. What is that cover? What does it cover? The State Claims Agency has a general indemnity but that must be a limited indemnity. For example, the Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection will not be indemnified if it takes a case against the Data Protection Commissioner because, I presume, that would be separate as one would be initiating a claim. What does the State Claims Agency cover in terms of legal costs?
