Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 6 November 2018
1151. Deputy Tony McLoughlin asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection the amount her Department has spent in 2018 on carrying out commissions of investigations and State inquiries as recommended by the independent review mechanism and State tribunals; the number and name of these investigations; the individual costs relating to same; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [45910/18]
View answerIn 2018, there have been no tribunals under the Tribunals of Inquiry (Evidence) Acts 1921 to 2004 concerning my Department. Neither has there been a commission of investigation under the Commission of Investigations Act 2004 in relation to the Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection.
Therefore no costs have incurred in relation to the carrying out of a tribunal of enquiry or a commission of investigation by this Department.
