I propose to take Questions Nos. 10 to 12, inclusive, together.

The total amount spent on the McEntee commission of investigation was €2,632,702. All costs with regard to the commission of investigation have been discharged.

We are dealing with the cost of these commissions and we have debated them in the House. A unanimous view in respect of the Dublin and Monaghan bombings was sent by the House to the British Government and the House of Commons. Has there been any response to the agreed motion conveyed at the time?

I stated in earlier replies that the motion was noted but there has not been any formal response to date.
