The witnesses indicated the LSRA will be able to deal with complaints. I assure them that in more than seven years as a Member of the Oireachtas, I have received more complaints about solicitors than I have about gardaí and that is saying something. If the LSRA will be in a position to deal with complaints about solicitors, my God, it will be under an avalanche. I wonder if this will be possible? We know for a fact that the Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission, GSOC, does not have the colour of the money it requires to its job properly. We have argued that GSOC remains designed to fail because of a lack of proper legislation and funding. Will the LSRA receive the funding necessary to deal in an effective manner with all the complaints that will come its way?
