Mr. Ciar?n Breen:

I will come back to the Deputy on that figure in a second, I will look for it. There is one feature of legal costs which I would like to bring to the committee's attention. It is a very unusual feature which is that by reference to section D, for example, if one is a plaintiff's solicitor and is preparing one's bill of costs, not alone are we paying the bill of costs but we are actually paying a sum in respect of the preparation of that bill of costs, which can often run as high as 10% of the actual bill of costs. For example that is literally akin to somebody having a meal in a restaurant and being presented with the bill and someone says that, by the way, there is a charge for presenting them with the bill as well. These are features that add to the costs and they are problematic for the State Claims Agency.
