I understand that Mr. John Gallagher, SC, who is the independent person carrying out an examination of the case presented by the Stardust Victims Committee, is engaged on preliminary aspects of the examination and making the necessary preparations in advance of hearing the presentations on behalf of the Committee. Direct expenditure to date amounts to €200,000 advanced to the Committee in respect of their legal and research costs. Other expenditure is being incurred in preparing accommodation etc. but has not yet been brought to account.
