Mr. Ciaran Breen:
I do not have the individual figures for particular barristers but I can offer an example. In a catastrophic injury case we currently pay our senior counsel in the order of €42,500 on a brief fee. These were taxing previously, before we did a procurement to reduce our barrister fees, at €65,000 for catastrophic injury cases.
