I can inform the Deputy that the costs for criminal legal aid for the years 2005 to 2009 are contained in the Revised Estimates volume for each of the years concerned. As the Deputy will be aware, copies of these documents are available at www.finance.gov.ie and in the Oireachtas Library. The cost of criminal legal aid to date in 2010 is €40.81m.
