Public Accounts Committee

Special Report No. 96 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Child Abuse Inquiry and Redress

9:00 am

Mr. Seán Ó Foghlú:

From the cases in the courts and from the limited information that was available at the time. There were a large number of cases in the courts. This gets to the kernel of the point that there was not sufficient information available at the start to know about the costs. These were revised upwards, as Mr. Tattan said, over the years.
