Ms Oonagh Buckley:

We already have people working in our legal unit, so that is already part of the wage bill. It will depend on how many lawyers we take in. I would suggest it is money well spent if it reduces the payments we are making out of the board in legal costs. It is money that is better spent on us getting our house in order.
