Ms Oonagh McPhillips:

The way it works is that if a person appears in court tomorrow morning and is granted legal aid by the judge, the staff in the court office will sign off on that. Those claims will go to our accounts branch in Killarney for payment. There is a check in the court office and in Killarney. The other check on it is that often they are mirrored by the payments the Director of Public Prosecutions makes, so we match those up to make sure those are in line as well and, obviously, there is auditing form time to time.
