Mr. Don Culliton:

Obviously, as the director general has said, we examine all cases and we engage with the State's legal advisers, the Chief State Solicitor's office and so on. If the advice is that matters should be appealed, they are. If the advice is that matters should be compromised and settled, then this is the advice we follow.
