Brian Cowen (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail)

As for the other matter regarding the report, I point out that on the issue of compensation arising in respect of one of the parties, there is an acknowledgement that this is not about compensation but is about restoring lost tonnage. I understand it is pointed out in the report that the family concerned indicated that they did receive a full insurance payment in respect of the sinking of the particular boat concerned. The issue really is about lost tonnage.
