No, I have moved away from the Clarke case. I am asking about what Mr. Clifford said earlier. It appeared as if the individual in the Prison Service was awarded a sum but that was challenged later. It just begs the question in all of this of the cost to the whistleblower of having to stay in the process while, at the same time, being penalised and, in some cases, out of a job while the State uses taxpayers' money to bring that whistleblower through the courts time and again. Would any of the witnesses like to comment on this?
