I have a number of questions before we finish. Mr. Cronin raised the issue of legal aid and has talked about restricting it and making people pay for it themselves. There is a practice of having a number of solicitors covering different charges against the same individual and the witnesses suggest that it should be changed to one solicitor per client. Mr. Cronin has said that there is a fear of restorative justice. Will he comment on that fear and where it comes from? He has said that it is a possible solution but at the same time there is a fear of it.
