I will make a quick point. I thank the Minister of State for his clear answer and I am glad the money is being kept for the inquiry.
Regarding the Judiciary, it is not just an issue of judges. A judge cannot sit without a registrar. We need more registrars as well. There is an expensive judges' pay bill but there is also the added expense of at least two registrars per judge.
