Pa Daly: I have one question about the extra money provided to the Legal Aid Board for providing legal advice and services to victims of sexual violence. There are a lot of cases coming before the courts in which there is a background of domestic violence involving, for example, breaches of protection orders and barring orders. In my experience, many of those cases are dropped before they are to be...

Pa Daly: To follow on from what Deputy Kenny said about the ombudsman, and what the Minister said, I did notice a case recently where a nurse in the hospital in Kerry was dissatisfied with the nature of a Garda complaint. She appealed to the ombudsman and she was not happy with the response. Since then, the Garda has reopened an investigation. Perhaps there is a difficulty with independence. Are...

Does the Minister think this spending is still good value for money? It seems to be the model that is...

I do not think that...
