I have two quick questions, one of which may not be relevant. Have moneys been allocated for the judicial council under this head given the urgent need for such a council? On technology, is the digital audio recording, DAR, system in place in every court or only the main courts? Are plans in place to make this information more accessible and has funding been provided for this purpose? When people request a digital audio recording, they often find it is not available or it is prohibitively costly.
