Mr. Seamus McCarthy:

I have reported previously in relation to the State Claims Agency. I am considering revisiting the issue for next year and particularly with an emphasis on the kind of feedback that is given by the State Claims Agency, given its experience of processing claims and making settlements, to look at what kind of information goes back to the public bodies and how they are advised to try to avoid claims into the future. I do not know if this addresses Deputy Carthy's interest. Certainly, I can engage with the committee again on that and the parameters of it, if the Deputy wishes.
