The Minister of State has made it clear, presumably on the basis of advice from the Department of Finance, that there is a concern the floodgates might open and compensation might raise its ugly head all over the country. That suggestion was underlined when it was mentioned - the Minister of State neatly slipped it into the script - that insurance compensation of a significant nature had already been arrived at. We can put all these things to one side and focus on the need to make a balanced judgment. I am concerned with the Ombudsman's judgment which made significant findings with regard to the Department's notification and publication of the arrangements for the scheme.
