Lindsay Tribunal Report: Motion.
There has been criticism about the cost of the Lindsay report which was set at €10 per copy. When the cost was being determined it was seen as reasonable relative to the Finlay report which cost £5 in 1995. However, the Irish Haemophilia Society has pointed out that €10 is very high relative to the €1 charged for the interim report of the Flood Tribunal. While the society acquired as many copies as it requested free of charge from my Department, I consider that the point it has made regarding the cost is valid and as a result I will request the Government Publications Office to make the report available at a nominal charge of €1. Copies will also continue to be available from my Department on request, and an electronic version is available on the Department's website.
