Most people have two concerns about the Cregan commission, namely, that it would progress speedily and curtail costs as far as practicable. The Taoiseach said it was expected that the preliminary report on the Siteserv part of the investigation would be completed by the end of December. Is it still on track to happen by the end of December and has there been any escalation of the costs? Have any discussions taken place with the investigation regarding likely ongoing costs or any mechanisms to mitigate costs, or is it believed that it would be inappropriate to do so?
