I understand that the amount in the Estimates for the McCracken tribunal is €1. Presumably, the two witnesses or participants in the tribunal are likely to claim a bit more than that if they claim. Is there any estimate of what the likely claim for costs will be?

According to reports prior to Christmas, Judge Moriarty was planning to publish his report in January. However, there has been some speculation that some of those referred to in the report may take legal action to block its publication. What does the Taoiseach know about the publication of the Moriarty tribunal report and when we are likely to see it?

Over the Christmas period, the Taoiseach and some of his Ministers were very vocal about the costs associated with tribunals. Will the Taoiseach confirm that legal costs — the scale of fees with lawyers — were set by his Government?
