Ms Ciara Murphy:

Could I pick up on a point Mr. Murphy made earlier? It is a very important point and one this committee is probably best placed to pick up on, which is probably utilising the World Bank IBA report to do the economic evaluation of legal aid. It is an excellent report that has looked at the economic value of aid in other jurisdictions. We cannot do this alone but if the committee or the State decided to approach it in that way, it would be a very worthwhile exercise to undertake and would help decision-making in the future in relation to legal aid.

I thank Ms Murphy for that. Does anyone else wish to comment?
