So there are other extenuating circumstances that mean that the cases will go longer.
So that's kind of the core of the argument that's there at present.
It must be pointed out that criminal aid lawyers are not the big earners amongst the legal fraternity and not by a long shot.
I remember looking at a magazine 30 years after the Stardust Tribunal and looking at the fees that lawyers were earning in Stardust Tribunal back in the 1980s.
This is like 30 years afterwards.
I was absolutely shocked because even the...
even if you transported that figure 30 years hence, the figures were still enormous.
So there's a big disparity between within the legal profession.

Even here in Ireland, as I was coming in to RT today, you could see the scorched grass on the lawns as we came into the campus.
And there have been a few wildfires in Ireland as well.
And a number of retailers have agreed to discontinue the sale of portable barbecues.

Well, I think there'll be a continuity.
I think Keir Starmer, I mean, for all his woes, has been very positive influence for Anglo-Irish relations after a series of Tory prime ministers who didn't really care about Ireland.
Boris Johnson was probably the most egregious example of those.
In fairness to Rishi Sunak, he did some work in terms of repairing that relationship.
You know, it'll be interesting to see who the new Northern Secretary will be.
