Pat Rabbitte (Dublin South West, Labour)

A Cheann Chomhairle, given my new mood of compliance with every stricture you impose on me, I will not pursue the matter.

Does the Taoiseach know what has been the cost of resort to the courts by third parties? Are they included in that figure or is it just the figure for which the State is liable in terms of lawyers and other costs, or does it include the cost of people going to the High Court frequently and so on?
