I completely agree with Deputy Kenny. I may have discussed this issue before. The legal aid practitioners or practitioners who benefit from the legal aid scheme may be the only profession left, outside of the FEMPI cuts, that have not yet been restored back to a 2008 to 2010 timeframe. That is a long time to wait, particularly considering the current inflationary climate. I support what Deputy Kenny has said and make the same point.
