Public Accounts Committee
Business of Committee

Mr. Seamus McCarthy:
It is not. The previous committee made that inquiry, so there may already be data up to 2019. It would just be a matter of adding the other information. I think it was addressed to the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform rather than the Department of the Taoiseach. The Department of the Taoiseach has responsibility for the Moriarty tribunal, the Cregan report and the Cooke commission, but other Departments have other commissions. I think the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform pulled it together. If my memory is correct, that may already be there as a base. When the appropriation accounts are published, if a commission of inquiry is being operated, the accumulated expenditure is in the appropriation account. In a couple of weeks, we will be able to bring those up to date, to the end of 2021.
