I thank Mr. Ryan for his presentation; what comes across is the Courts Service has been through a fairly tough time with cutbacks and I congratulate everybody for managing to get through that and still deliver a good service. Members appreciate the pressures under which the Courts Service operated. Members have questions and Senator Bacik, who indicated first, has three questions. She will be followed by Deputies Niall Collins and Mac Lochlainn.
