Senator Higgins has set out her concerns very well and I would be interested to hear the Minister of State's response.

I refer to amendment No. 79: In page 10, line 7, to delete "in specified circumstances" and substitute "where an appeal is upheld, or where it is consistent with justice and in the public interest to do so". I would be interested in hearing the Minister of State's response.

Throughout this process, the Minister of State has always talked about there being a low fee. Can she give us some indication of how much that fee is? Is she talking about €5, €10 or €20?

Can the Minister of State give us an indication of that?

I thank the Minister of State for the clarification. That is important-----
