Ms Josephine Feehily:
The cost consequences are, but I will review the wording to see if it also says the sheriff is independent and is an officer of the court, and it will be out of our hands. We can certainly review that and anything we can do. We do not really want to be doing this. Referrals to sheriff between 2011 and 2012 are down somewhat - not hugely, but they are down about 10%. I think we sent about 30,000 cases last year.
