Mr. Barry Donoghue:
It certainly causes pressures and we are coping with them as best we can. We got sanction from the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform to create a number of extra posts and we now have three lawyers working on it. The work is sometimes spread to other sections because the effect of the victims' directive applies in court cases. It is not just a matter for the victims' unit.
