I can inform the Deputy that in common with the funding provisions for all areas of the Justice Vote Group, the allocations for legal aid will continue to be closely monitored during the course of the year. It is too early at this stage of the financial year to predict, with any degree of certainty, the final expenditure in relation to legal aid.
