Mr. Paul McCusker:

Over the two years of phase 1 we estimate the cost to be €200,000 for the seven counties. We do not know the exact figures but we would aim to have between 600 and 800 participants through courses in that time.

In terms of the way we work it, when we go into an area, we liaise with the judges and then work with the solicitors. We then work with the Garda in terms of familiarising members with what we are aiming to do and get their buy-in. We then talk to community groups, which is done mainly by Mr. Doggett, and then the course rolls out with referrals from the court system. Mr. McFadden and Mr. Doggett work on that together. We have worked on this in Donegal for the past three years. That is the roll-out. We go into jurisdictional areas and work with the judges to get referrals, and then roll out the course.
