Ms Madeleine Delaney:

We have one staff member at HEO grade who effectively works full time on this project and has done for the best part of a year. Our legal adviser has been working with her. We also ran those prosecutions in-house because we had a previous prosecution that we gave to our external advisers. It has not yet been heard but that is through no fault of theirs or ours. There has just been a number of instances of coming back for dates. That cost us approximately €30,000, without the case being heard. We have run those ones ourselves between either just attending ourselves or getting a local solicitor to attend. It takes a lot of work for our in-house legal adviser.
