Mr. Seamus McCarthy:
I am not an expert on it. I think we have been through this before, where it has been found that inquiries or commissions were ongoing for lengthy periods. There have been a number of iterations and a number of models have been used and are being used now, which may be different. For example, in the Vote for the Department of the Taoiseach, there is a tribunal of inquiry and there are commissions of investigation. This was a commission of investigation, which was supposed to be the better, more effective and cheaper model.
