If there are 61 in total we could expect another one third or perhaps a 30% or 40% rise in those legal costs. I thank Mr. Fox for that.

We will have a second round of questions because we are missing some Deputies - three Deputies were promoted and are now Ministers and Ministers of State. That is what has happened so we must repopulate the committee and we have a bit of work to do there.

With regard to the vehicles, thus far €38,000 of legal fees have been incurred for the issues that arose out of that accident. What is the status of that case at the moment?
