Mr. Michael Finn:

The Courts Service would have to be consulted to get an exact figure, but an indicative cost for the first batch of 8,500 is in the region of €1.6 million, less than €1 million of which had been paid. If we were reimbursing those that had been paid, it would be just short of €1 million based on the 8,500 cases the Courts Service examined in approximately September.
