I note that the agency made payments last year of €147,000 for an average case. That includes approximately €60,000 of costs and €87,000 of the award itself. This means for every €1,000 of an award there is €670 in legal costs on top. We are finding that 40% of all the agency's payments are for legal costs. What are the highest sums the agency paid to barristers? Some people might seek the names, but will Mr. Breen outline the highest payments to individual barristers in the year? What are the figures like?
