Mr. Sean Quigley:

The only fees that are charged directly out of the funds would be court fees. These are authorised by the Minister for Finance and the Minister for Justice and Equality. These fees are currently based on any transaction that happens in relation to a ward of court, or any other funds, and we deduct a fee. In 2013, about €1.8 million was deducted, which on average is about the equivalent of 0.14% across all funds.
