I withdraw it. I am not commenting on the cases at all. I am merely commenting on the fact the State has so many demands on it. Here we have a situation where, in general terms, criminals are being given free legal aid on multiple occasions. In many of those cases they have assets and there does not seem to be any cap. It is time it was addressed.
