Mr. Ciarán Breen:

In truth, we do not get resistance from hospitals in relation to, for example, anything to do with the litigation process. In the case of a brain-damaged infant, because they are such tragic cases, hospitals want us to deal with them as quickly as we possibly can. That is what we wish to do as well. We aim to get to the end of cases in the shortest possible period of time.
