Mr. Robert Watt:
Yes. The Meenan report did look at other jurisdictions and looked at the possibility of no-fault schemes, which was not recommended in the report. Certainly, as part of this review, we will look again at other jurisdictions and whether we can do better at reducing the instances of these events and at managing cases and settling them faster with a lower cost to the Exchequer. It is absolutely a very significant issue for the State.
