Ms Oonagh McPhillips:

I can give the Vice Chairman the costs. Regarding the numbers, one thread that does run through it is that we tend to get a lot of issues relating to other Departments, so when they are assessed, they are not actually protected disclosures for the Department of Justice. It is just that the title of the Department almost attracts people to write to us raising their issues, so we would refer those to the appropriate body. To date, the costs over recent years have been roughly €228,000.
