Eamon Gilmore (Dún Laoghaire, Labour)

I am asking a supplementary question arising from the original question, which concerns the costs of consultant reports. This states, "Review of Economic Regulatory Environment - €408,375". Why did it cost that much? The wide-ranging McCarthy report cost one tenth of that. Why is the Government paying large sums for reports on the regulatory environment? What was involved?
