The Department of Public Expenditure and Reform must have some idea of how the costs are going.

If it has no idea, this is a bigger issue because it would mean there is a blank cheque. What information does the Department have? Someone must have some idea. If the position is that no one has any idea what the cost of the commission of investigation will be, then the commission should be stopped. Can the Department be helpful to the committee in this regard?
