I am a bit lost. I thought that there was a system in place, under the legal aid scheme, to assist victims and provide them with independent legal advice in a limited number of cases. What is the nature of that independent legal advice, as a model for what Deputy O'Callaghan is proposing? Is it a good model? Is it a hand-holding exercise or is it limited to one consultation?
