While those serving their time in the profession have to work for slave trade labour prices, when they get up the ladder our legal services are one of the dearest in Europe. That will be challenging for the authority to address. While it is relying on the partnerships to address that and bring costs down a little, as far as I am aware no ceilings have been put on costs in the legal profession in Ireland. I have dealt with plenty of those in the profession and I know my way around the Four Courts fairly well for different reasons.

The variation in what can be charged by different people is phenomenal. There does not seem to be any kind of measure or control over what someone can charge. Is that manageable? Can the LSRA just go there and be effective?
