Mr. Robert Watt:
However, there are gaps I am aware of. There is a challenge within the legal offices. Deputy Deasy is right about the public. The public always thinks of teachers, gardaí, nurses and doctors. That is their focus because those are the staff involved in the services people interact with. People are less concerned about whether the law offices of the State are well populated with good people. Of course, if we do not have good people in those offices, then problems will appear quickly because we will be unable to provide services. The DPP will not be able to do its work and so on.
