Tony Killeen (Clare, Fianna Fail)

Several claims have been outstanding for a very long period and are, de facto, dormant, dead or unlikely to be reactivated in some instances. There are a total of 53 including those for 2010. At least 15 of these predate 2006 and one goes back to 1998. These are not active in any sense.

Regarding vehicles, the close interaction between the transport people and the State Claims Agency has undoubtedly led to changes. It is not dissimilar to our discussions previously on the Ombudsman; we learn from what takes place. I am unclear how many civilians were involved and I must get that information for the Deputies but I believe there would be some involvement.
