Brian Cowen (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail)

I am simply outlining the situation to the Deputy and the review of fees which took place. Taking account of further communication from the tribunal and its legal team and advice from the Attorney General, it was considered that, in the particular circumstances of the Moriarty tribunal, the fees should remain at what they were at that point. Since there have been reductions of 21.8% in respect of those fees. I have no further indication beyond what I have said as to when it will be finalised.
