Mr. Patrick Davitt:
It will not affect our members. The representatives of the Law Society of Ireland referred to fees for searches, etc., but I do not know if they mentioned solicitors' fees being reduced. We are not asking solicitors to reduce their fees because it is completely up to them to decide what to charge their clients. Obviously, we would be delighted if the fees related to conveyancing and the carrying out of searches were reduced. Many of the inferred costs of this process relate to the carrying out of transactions and many of them are quite high. We would be very happy if the fees in question were reduced.
