Mr. Breen must understand that we are not legal people. I am not a barrister or a solicitor nor are a majority of the public. I am pleased to hear that 100% of cases involving people aged under 18 go to court.

How many cases went to court or were resolved in the years under review, either in 2012 or 2013? How many cases were settled outside court? What was the average cost of the awards in court versus those negotiated without going to court? What are the average legal costs for going to court versus not...

I am trying to establish whether there is a significant difference. Is it costing the agency more to go to court? I will come to the legal costs in a moment.

I am keen to see the average awards. We have heard of a case of €8 million and another of €4.5 million. I imagine there are smaller cases as well. In terms of the cases-----

2012 Annual Report and Accounts - National Pensions Reserve Fund (13 Feb 2014) Seán Fleming: I note that the agency made payments last year of €147,000 for an average case. That includes approximately €60,000 of costs and €87,000 of the award itself. This means for every €1,000 of an award there is €670 in legal costs on top. We are finding that 40% of all the agency's payments are for legal costs. What are the highest sums the agency paid to...

2012 Annual Report and Accounts - National Pensions Reserve Fund (13 Feb 2014) Seán Fleming: I have asked the question before. How much would it cost to take barristers on contract? Mr. Breen has referred to a reduced rate but the agency is paying a daily rate.

2012 Annual Report and Accounts - National Pensions Reserve Fund (13 Feb 2014) Seán Fleming: Is there no mechanism within the State apparatus - I am directing this to the entire deputation at this stage - whereby instead of paying barristers up to €2,000 per day, which could amount to hundreds of thousands of euro per annum, the agency could get some of them on an annual contract? That way they could develop considerable expertise at a rate dramatically less than the current rate.
