Catherine Murphy: Okay. I would appreciate it if Mr. Breen would do that because this is an issue that is on my desk constantly. I know more than a couple of the people involved. This is a stand-out situation and I think some of these things are going to be quite unusual in terms of workplace issues. This was my main point.

Catherine Murphy: Looking at what the State liability is, we can see now that there is more than one route through which that liability can be estimated.

Chapter 20: Management of the Clinical Indemnity Scheme of the Report on the Accounts of Public Services 2021 (2 Mar 2023)

Catherine Murphy: Okay. So, for example, that claim in litigation is counted as one, but I am aware that Mr. Breen has just told us there are ten claims for Casement Aerodrome.

I would say that they have been ongoing since prior to 2020.

It is a very important source and it is on the...

Catherine Murphy: I ask have just asked that same question. That question will have gone to the Department of Finance and obviously, the State Claims Agency will deal with it. I ask that particular attention be paid to making sure that a claim is counted as an individual claim, as opposed to a mass claim.
