I am well aware that this strategy has been in place for some years. What exactly will the Ministers for Health and Social Protection be looking at for the next three months? Is it the Attorney General's report? Is it the substance of the issue? Are they looking at identifying individuals who may have been impacted? Are they looking at the possibility of repayments? Exactly what is it? I wonder if the same positive legal obligation was considered when the repayment of junior bondholders was being considered because people are validly making a comparison between the two and how the State treated the two.

Other people feel that this delay-and-deny tactic is repeatedly the State's strategy. For example, over a 20-year period 100 personnel in Casement Aerodrome have prematurely died. It is up to the individuals or their families to do anything. This is about how the State treats its citizens. What exactly will the two Ministers be looking at? Is it just the Attorney General's report or is it more?
