Trevor Sargent (Dublin North, Green Party)

The costs accruing in respect of the Moriarty tribunal are astronomical. It is important that the House hears whether the Taoiseach believes, as he stated previously, that the completion date for this work will be January 2006. Does he still believe that completion date is achievable? He also mentioned previously that he would insist on the new fee structures for tribunal lawyers being applied. Is that still the case? Is it also still the case that no new staff are to be appointed to the Moriarty tribunal?
