Yes.

I have a few questions about the commissions of investigation. On page 15 of the 2016 appropriation accounts tribunal of inquiry payments are listed. In one column is the year of appointment of the Moriarty tribunal which is given as 1997. The payments made in 2016 were related to Messrs Haughey and Lowry. Obviously, they followed a court decision on the awarding of their costs. Just below the columns in which the amounts are listed the page reads: "There will be further payments associated with this Tribunal of Inquiry". We are discussing the 2016 accounts. Will the witnesses indicate what further amounts might be outstanding?
