Mr. Robert Watt:
We have modernised. Ms Buckley is closer to the details of this than I am but the role has been changed and modernised and their duties have been reformed. If a judge needs support, that is provided and the role has evolved. Colm McCarthy who was involved with an bord snip nua was fascinated by tipstaffs and he used to regale everybody with stories about what they did down in the Law Library. I cannot vouch for the veracity of these stories but they were entertaining. The role is different and that is the basis for agreeing the posts in this instance.
