View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 99, 100 and 106 to 108, inclusive, together.
The Deputy will be aware that the State Claims Agency manages personal injury claims on behalf of the Minister for Defence.
Given my responsibilities and the fact that the Minister for Defence is a Defendant in these claims, you will appreciate it would be inappropriate for me to make any comment in relation to these cases, either generally or individually, whilst such litigation is ongoing.
