Six referendum commissions have been established since 2000 under the Referendum Act 1998. The referenda related to the abolition of the death penalty, the International Criminal Court and the Treaty of Nice in 2001; protection of human life in pregnancy and the Treaty of Nice in 2002; and citizenship in 2004. The cost of each commission was met by the sponsoring Department. Details of the costs involved are set out in the published reports of the referendum commissions, copies of which are available in the Oireachtas Library.
