Has anyone tried to contact Joe Taylor for copies – he managed to air a show every night “based on actual transcripts” of the hearings. How sad would it be if a reporter could give you the tanscripts but the tribunal couldn’t!
Mahon took down Bertie and that was based on a well informed public. Imagine who Moriarty could have taken down if the public had that level of access

It surely is in the public interest that as many people as possible would have access to all the evidence given in public to a public tribunal paid for by the taxpayer–Icannot understand why the transcripts were not on the web on a daily basis as was the case with the Mahon Tribunal—is somebody somewhere afraid of a well informed electorate?

To put them into the public domain, it’s only one copy of all transcript, not multiple copies of one transcript.

They’re not in the public domain yet, so Gavin was going to put them somewhere they could be read and searched by those interested in the Tribunal.

Maybe I missed this but and sorry but I have to ask … what do you need that many transcripts for?

Amazing but not surprising! I often attended the Mahon tribunal for project work and was always amazed at the speed the transcripts appeared on the website. Often the transcripters would leave the hall before the newspaper reporters had finished their end.
If that group of transcripters can provide the info so quick and make it public why can DCR and Malone not do the same? I’m sure there’s no money-grabbing element to it!

crazy- gubu- corrupt- where is the uprising? the people have no option but to get rid of f.f. more tax payers money wasted. Cowen looks more like a caricature character than a leader. what is wrong with the irish people that they take this on the chin day in day out?

€16k for the court reports, a sure isn’t it a great little country. What kind of a set-up is it at all if we can’t read what was said at a tribunal set up with taxpayers’ money…infuriating – great post.
