Maybe there is a lesson there for some other bodies that come before us. It would be appreciated if Mr. Breen would give us a sense in writing at a later stage how much the tribunal has cost to date.

Considering the millions and billions we have been speaking about up to this point, this might seem small fry but I note the NTMA spent €51,000 on two staff parties in 2019 and more than €88,000 has been paid out to third parties for staff hospitality and entertainment. Is this considered to be good value for money?
