Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

At the time, a national newspaper stated the number of persons receiving an allocation of €2,500 a day should be strictly limited. The Taoiseach and the Government requested a reduction in the fees payable to lawyers dealing with the tribunals. What is the current status of the request? Will it be implemented?

It has been reported that the second report of the Moriarty tribunal will be available by the end of the year. Does the Taoiseach agree that such a timescale can be met?

What is the position on the allocation of costs for persons who have had their costs deferred? A small number is involved. What is the Taoiseach's position on the view that this was a fraction of those who deserved to have their costs withheld?

In respect of persons who deliberately delayed the workings of the tribunal, what action, if any, is to be taken on that, or is that an area on which the Taoiseach has a view?
