496. Deputy Thomas P. Broughan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if his Department is examining methods of having stronger regulation, including by promoting transparency, in the area of the fees charged by barristers and solicitors; if he will address circumstances where legal costs are deducted from awards made by courts or tribunals to clients in such a manner as to dissipate a large portion of the original award and thereby almost entirely negate the value of the judicial remedy awarded to the clients.
