Yesterday on the Order of Business, in the context of the register of persons considered unsafe to work with children Bill, the Taoiseach told me that the State Claims Agency would treat sympathetically the issue of the €500,000 legal costs of Ms Louise O'Keeffe. This is welcome as far as it goes but Ms O'Keeffe is still extremely worried that she could lose her house. Will the Minister be more specific and clarify the instructions that the State, in the form of the Department of Education and Science, is giving the State Claims Agency in this regard?
