So what's happening is the drugs group are meeting this Wednesday, is my understanding.

I don't know whether Frederick Ataxi or Sky Clara's drug is part of the discussion.

They don't publish what drugs are being discussed.

But what we do know is there can be one drug, there could be three drugs, there could be six drugs, Clare.

How often does that group meet?

They meet every quarter.

So we won't have another meeting for another 100 days after this.

It'll be next September when we have another drugs meeting on this.

And that is the frustration and that is the worry for all of the families that there's another 100 days.

What I do know is that further information was sought by the drugs group, which was really positive some time back.

And Biogen has submitted that further information.

That's the company that makes it, that makes it here in Cork.

It's an Irish med drug and we export it to a lot of countries that have already approved this drug.

But it's important to say the information went back in on the 27th of May, the further information.

Now, I don't know whether that further information has been assessed.

Has it been scrutinised?

Has it been absolutely analysed to the fact that it is on the agenda this Wednesday?

I would love if it was, to be quite honest with you.

I would love if all those questions were answered and we were now getting to the stage that there would be a decision made that would be put to the senior management.

I'm hearing nothing.
