I have no doubt corruption will continue and some system must be in place to deal with it. A system of tendering for lawyers must be introduced. Tribunals have been overshadowed by the cost issue. If one enters a public house or other forum in which people congregate, one will hear them talk about the cost of the tribunal process. They do not look at the purpose for which they were established, which was to deal with corruption. It is crazy and unjust that lawyers could receive €2,400 per day in this society.
