Mr. Derek Moran:

It does on an aggregate level. What it endeavours to do is compare the costs of similar scale. I think the fees up to the end of 2019 were about €277 million. The Estimate, when this is over, will come to somewhere between €304 million and €313 million.

When this ends is open to question. The IBRC currently still has 40 active legal cases - 26 in which they are defending and 14 where they are the plaintiff so this remains complex.
