Vote 3: Office of the Attorney General
Vote 5: Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions

10:00 am

Mr. Barry Donoghue:

I do not have an exact figure because it depends on how many sitting days there are between now and the end of the year. It is hard to predict that but, clearly, it will be much in excess of what it was last year. Those figures are driven by the fact that there was a backlog of cases in the old Court of Criminal Appeal and they are now being processed by the new Court of Appeal, which is sitting regularly.
