Bertie Ahern (Dublin Central, Fianna Fail)

I repeat what I said already. The Attorney General was asked to commence preliminary advice and I will receive this in November. I have already mentioned the issues he will examine to see if we can construct a case. At the same time we seek to pursue a closer focus on information needed. In fairness, there was an argument about that because we sought a broad spread and this would have required considerable resources. We are narrowing down the information requested and will see if we receive a better response but I am sceptical.

Is the Deputy referring to costs of the MacEntee commission of investigation?
