Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I appreciate the Deputy is not asking me to do that. The remit of the State Claims Agency is clearly set out in law. Once cases are delegated to the agency, Government and Ministers have no role in the management of cases. That is not the case for every legal case but it is for those referred to the State Claims Agency. Its remit is set out in law and has been agreed by the Oireachtas.
