Tribunals of inquiry are established by resolution of the Houses of the Oireachtas to enquire into matters of urgent public importance. Commissions of investigation can investigate matters of significant public concern and are set up by Government order. Such commissions are currently provided for by the Commissions of Investigation Act 2004.

No such tribunals of inquiry or commissions of investigation are currently ongoing in my Department.
