I thank Mr. McKenna. My next question is for the Courts Service. There seems to be a complete divergence of opinion between what Ms Mary Farrell and the Justice for Wards group says and what the Courts Service says. This committee is trying to establish what is happening. Ms Farrell has presented as though funds have been lost and the funds have been depleted, whereas the Courts Service, and the graphs it has provided, suggest that is not the case. What does the Court Service think of Justice for Ward's matter of concern? Is the Courts Service report saying that the real issue of concern, which is giving rise to the wards' difficulties, is the original awards not having been big enough and that with the passage of time there is not enough money there to continue to pay out?
