I would not do so. I am only joking.

I thank the witnesses for the presentation. For the most part, I support everything that has been said. Mediation and other such approaches are a very good idea. Reference was made to new ways of dealing with cases. Mention was made of Dr. Lydia Foy, who happens to come from my home town originally. My family know her well. What other way could her case have been dealt with in terms of the new approaches? I understand the point made about access to justice and a last course of action for many. If someone takes a case, then he or she really feels very strongly that there has been an injustice against him or her. He or she would not take such an approach lightly. I agree that most money is pumped into commercial law, which is not right. What other way could Dr. Foy’s case have been dealt with to have avoided it taking eight years?
