The next point for this committee is the cost implications of the process. The Garda has taken over 2,000 people to the appeal court. What are the legal costs to date or are there legal costs?

Catherine Connolly: It should not have happened but it did happen and the Garda is dealing with it. However, there has to be an end to it and there has to be an update.

Catherine Connolly: My final question relates to my personal interest in the protection units relating to domestic and gender-based violence. These are being rolled out and I welcome that. Where are the cost implications? Where can I see that in the accounts? It is accounted for separately. Are there sufficient funds to fulfil the objectives of the Commissioner regarding the protection units?
