Mr. Gavin Sheridan,

21, The Courtyard,
Castleredmond,
Midelton,
Co. Cork.

Dear Mr. Sheridan,

I refer to your request under the Freedom of Information Acts for records held by this
Department as follows:

(1) All transcripts of public sittings of the Moriarty Tribunal from its inception to the date on
which this request is received.
(2) The contract for transcription services and a breakdown of fees charged for transcription
services.
(3) The breakdown of fees for the maintenance and building of the Moriarty Tribunal website,
and the contract for this.

In relation to (1) above, these documents are outside the scope of the FOI Acts: I understand
that they can be purchased from Doyle Court Reporters.

In relation to (2) and (3) above, the attached spreadsheet outlines the fees involved. This
Department does not hold copies of the contracts, which are a matter for the Tribunal itself.
You may wish to contact it direct on this matter.

Yours sincerely,

Miriam Dollard
FO11465 - Mr. Gavin Sheridan - Protocol Division
