I do not have a function in determining what are the charges as there is a process laid down and the Department of the Taoiseach merely pays out the costs. It should be noted, however, that my Department has assumed responsibility for a number of commissions of investigation because other Departments were being investigated and it became necessary for another Department to monitor and oversee the process. In these cases, my Department assumed that role.
