Mr. John McCarthy:

The estimate for the overall cost of the tribunal remains at the figure the Deputy outlined there. It was just over €158.5 million, almost €159 million. By the end of 2014, up to the end of last year, €111 million had been spent. The balance of about €47 million is to be spent over this year and, it is hoped, next year, but the ultimate timescale for when the cost will finally crystallise will be partly determined by the resolution of a number of ongoing legal cases. The tribunal has confirmed, however, that the overall cost estimate of €158.5 million, about €159 million, remains valid.
