That is the balance which is being struck. The ninth interim report was given on 8 April 2021 and the timeframe has been extended to 31 October 2021. The Taoiseach granted that extension, given the apparent advanced stage of preparation of its final report. If that had not been granted it would have effectively dissolved the commission without providing any findings, with limited return for the substantial costs incurred to date, as well as those incurred but not yet paid. That was the basis for the extension.
