Is there no mechanism within the State apparatus - I am directing this to the entire deputation at this stage - whereby instead of paying barristers up to €2,000 per day, which could amount to hundreds of thousands of euro per annum, the agency could get some of them on an annual contract? That way they could develop considerable expertise at a rate dramatically less than the current rate.
