I want to return to a question I asked earlier. Senator Horkan touched on this issue as well. When one goes through the Injuries Board process, one gets to the point at which a figure is suggested. It might be €10,000 or whatever. The claimant has to pay his or her solicitor from that amount. At that point, the possibility must be considered that he or she might get a large amount if he or she goes to court with a barrister. There is a gig in it for the barrister as well. They all end up in court. I refer to the barrister, the solicitor, the claimant and so on. How attractive is that, or how often does it happen?
