Written answers

The receipt of €45 million from the Medical Defence Union (MDU) is in respect of an agreement reached with the MDU in settlement of litigation. The agreement brings to a conclusion a long standing dispute with the MDU following their refusal to indemnify large numbers of their members and former members in Ireland.
