I would much prefer to spend money on other things but obviously there are things we need to find out about and so forth. If the Deputy looks back, most of the tribunals were in the 2000s and preceded the enactment of the commissions of investigation legislation. The tribunal in place at the moment is one of the first tribunals set up in about ten years but there are particular reasons for that and the Oireachtas approved it this time last year.
