Mr. John McCarthy:

The Deputy is absolutely right. It is three or four years since the final report was published - my apologies, it was published on 31 July 2013 - and 21 years since the tribunal was established. To update the Deputy on the figures, at this stage we have spent just over €131 million on the tribunal. The big outstanding piece at this stage is the claims for third party costs. Arising from the tribunal, there are 319 claims, if one likes, for third party costs, of which 245 have been dealt with. They are managed by the State Claims Agency on our behalf. There are, therefore, 74 live files.
