I will also support the amendment. The State incurs legal expenses while trying to fight cases in the HSE system and Government due to incidents which could have instead been dealt with so that people could learn from, admit to and work on them for the future and use them as a learning curve. People could admit they got things wrong and have to fix them, learn from what happened and move on. The legal fees incurred by fighting and holding things in the courts for years are more than what it would cost if people came out and said they got things wrong, need to fix them and make sure the same does not happen again. The legal fees over the past number of years would exceed the cost of fighting this.
