Mr. Brian McHugh:

As I have said, 20 years ago, we issued a report on the reforms to the legal sector we would like to see. We are still waiting. We have listed a number of these. To pick just one, conveyancing is a solicitors' monopoly in Ireland. It is not in England, Wales, New Zealand or Australia. It does not need to be. In Ireland, it costs about €1,800 to convey your house. In New Zealand, it is around €600. It is also much quicker in other countries. That is what competition does.
