I propose to take Questions Nos. 340 and 357 together.
I am informed by the State Claims Agency that, as with all claims, the Mediator is appointed by agreement between the parties in the Cervical Check claims. If the parties cannot agree a mediator, there are institutions which may make an appointment, including the Law Society of Ireland, the Mediators Institute of Ireland, the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators, and Mediation Ireland. However, to date all mediators have been appointed by agreement between the parties. All mediators used in the Cervical Check litigation are fully accredited.
