Earlier, the Chairman asked about the Fennelly commission and I asked about the inquiry into the Irish Bank Resolution Corporation, IBRC. I am not going to stray into policy or ask Mr. Watt any policy questions. However, I want to go through this again.

The committee is still dealing with the legacy costs of tribunals. For example, the figure of €159 million comes to mind when we are talking about Mahon and €50 million for Moriarty, etc. When the Department of Finance was dealing with the analysis of how much it would cost to run a commission of investigation into IBRC, Mr. Watt said he does not have that figure right now. Does he have any guesstimate as to what figure was on the memo to the Government?
