We are currently doing a full look-back in north Kerry. That was a commitment I gave in cases where any of the audits threw up a situation where red flags were raised, and they were raised in north Kerry. As the Deputy knows, Dr. Maskey was not available and was not in a position to carry out a review after doing the first one. We found it hard to get somebody to do the full look-back, but that work is under way.
I have said categorically that some young people have fallen outside the terms of reference of the compensation scheme. When the review is concluded, that will be looked at. We cannot look at it until we have the results from the north Kerry audit, which are due very soon.
