Kieran O'Donnell: I accept that. I want to be fair. Has Mr. McMahon been selective in what he has picked? He picked four claims, one of which is a stress claim. There was a settlement of €60,000, and €73,000 in costs, which means that 55% of the overall payout was in legal costs. The second case related to an injury that occurred in a car park. Mr. McMahon stated there was a claim of...

Kieran O'Donnell: Ms Muldoon is a representative of a large company. Such companies have access to data to which we do not have access. They analyse data and employ actuaries to examine projections and costs. Ms Muldoon should not state that it is complex.

- Seanad: Summer Economic Statement 2019: Statements (26 Jun 2019)
Kieran O'Donnell: I welcome the Minister of State to the House. He is no stranger here, and he is doing a great deal of work.

That might be interesting.
- Seanad: Summer Economic Statement 2019: Statements (26 Jun 2019)
