Over 30 Tribunals of Inquiry have been established under the Tribunals of Inquiry (Evidence) Acts 1921 to 2011. These are set out in the following table, which does not include the forthcoming Charleton Tribunal.

In the time available, it was not possible to collate the details requested regarding the number of days each Tribunal sat for and the gross cost of each Tribunal. In  any case, in 2011, any files relating to the costs of Tribunals which were held by this Department would have transferred to the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform and are no longer held by this Department.
