Then we see the scale of what is involved, or the number of cases, that is, legal fees paid by the State. We must fish around, as they say. Perhaps the witnesses will help us with others who have legal powers to prosecute in their own right.

The next question I want to ask Mr. Donoghue I will put simply. I am looking at the DPP's annual report. There is lots of good information in it, and I know that An Garda Síochána does a lot of prosecution work in the District Court. I think it is mentioned somewhere in the report that this issue was being looked at, or there is some reference to it. What was the reference?
