The information sought by the Deputy is set out in the following table.
I should also mention to the Deputy that the allocation for the Legal Aid Board has been increased from €18.388 million in 2004 to €21.362 million in 2005, an increase of 16%. I expect that the increased allocation will improve the situation on waiting lists for legal aid cases. As per January 2005:
