Mr. Brian O'Malley:

I will try to assist the committee where I can. The Department of Public Expenditure and Reform arranges for an informal collection of data on costs on a quarterly basis for commissions of investigation, tribunals of inquiry, commissions to inquire into matters and various reports, for example, the Ferns report. Those are the four key headings. We write to the Departments on an administrative basis quarterly to get that information so we can see what the actual costs are.
