Mary Hanafin (Dún Laoghaire, Fianna Fail)

I reiterate that the Taoiseach made it clear in the House, the State Claims Agency made it clear and I am making it clear that we want the case dealt with sympathetically. At this stage, the best thing possible for Ms O'Keeffe is that it not be dragged out further. I welcome the fact that both meetings will take place this week. I would like to see a quick conclusion to the matter and I will put that view across to those involved.
