State should ease ‘financial burden' for people facing heavy legal costs at public inquiries, report finds
The 'personal financial burden' of appearing before a Commission of Investigation should be eased by the State, the final report of the National Asset Management Agency (Nama) commission has said. The Commission of Investigation into the controversial sale of Project Eagle has called on the Government to change the 'strict' guidelines for covering the legal costs of those who appear before high-profile public inquiries. It said witnesses who 'diligently' give evidence, submissions and documents can end up in the 'very unfortunate situation' of having to personally pay high legal fees for their participation in the process. At the moment, the guidelines for legal costs under the Commissions of Investigation Act 2004 says witnesses can recoup some but not all of their legal fees. The current guidelines do not cover instruction fees, brief fees and legal fees incurred while making submissions. READ MORE In the case of the Nama commission, over two-thirds of the legal bills of the so-called 'bad bank' could not be recovered. It is understood that Nama's total legal costs reached €7.5 million, but it only received €2.4 million of that back from the commission. Thirty-six witnesses on behalf of Nama, including past and present employees, offered evidence and submissions over the seven years of the inquiry. All of these witnesses made claims for the payments of their costs. After assessing the claims for costs from Nama with the help of the State Claims Agency , the commission said it believed the current guidelines on legal costs would 'benefit significantly from review and updating'. 'Engaging with a Commission of Investigation can be an onerous task for private individuals, many of whom understandably seek legal advice and assistance in relation to their interaction with a Commission,' the commission stated in its final report to Taoiseach Micheál Martin . 'Witnesses who diligently provide detailed statements, attend to give evidence, provide documents and make submissions may find themselves in the very unfortunate situation of having to discharge significant fees personally due to the strict confines of the guidelines for payment of legal costs.' The commission, whose sole member is Susan Gilvarry, said Nama had tried to recoup 'substantial legal costs', but the commission wasn't able to consider or direct the recovery of any costs not set out in the current guidelines. It pointed out that the recovery of costs was less important in the case of Nama, where a state agency's costs are 'sought to be recovered from a Government department'. But it said that these 'discrete set of circumstances' would not apply in every case, so it recommended that the 'guidelines are revised and clarified to reflect the personal financial burden that witnesses or third parties may be subjected to by virtue of being requested to engage with a Commission of Investigation'. [ Department of Finance to wind down special bank shareholdings unit Opens in new window ] The Department of the Taoiseach did not respond to requests for comment. The report from the Nama commission said that its final costs, from the point it was established in June 2017 to April 2025, were €10.3 million. This included €4.6 million in legal fees, a salary cost of €1.75 million and administrative costs of €1.4 million. Since the late 1990s, the State has spent more than €600 million on tribunals of inquiry and commissions of investigation, including the €143 million Mahon/Flood Tribunal, the €85 million Commission to inquire into Child Abuse and the €83 million Moriarty Tribunal. In April, the billionaire businessman Denis O'Brien was awarded €5.8 million by the State Claims Agency for the legal costs he faced while a witness for the Moriarty Tribunal between 2001 and 2010.

Vodafone to shift headquarters to St Stephen's Green
Vodafone Ireland is to move its headquarters to the city centre next year, leaving the Sandyford location it has occupied for more than two decades. The company said it would relocate to 70 St Stephen's Green as the building's sole occupant from April next year. The lease on its Mountainview building in Central Park, Sandyford, was due to expire or renew in 2026. 'As we mark 25 years in Ireland, we are pleased to move to a new location where we will be much closer to our customers including many businesses and State bodies,' Vodafone Ireland's HR director Noelle Burke said. READ MORE 'Mountainview in Central Park and the Sandyford district has been a wonderful home to Vodafone Ireland for a long time, and we are pleased that we will continue to have a smaller presence there.' Vodafone announced the move to Mountainview in May 2002. More than 2,000 people work with Vodafone in Ireland, and almost half are currently based at its headquarters, with the company operating a hybrid policy that has staff in the office between eight and 10 days a month. The new location will also advance the company's net zero commitment by 2028, halving carbon emissions for its headquarters by facilitating a shift to public transport alongside a significantly more energy efficient building. 'Our climate goals are important to us, and this decision is aligned to our commitment to reducing carbon emissions,' Ms Burke said. 'This was a key driver in our decision-making process, to ensure we can provide a central location for our employees and customers, helping to reduce our impact on the environment.'

Robert Pether's wife hopes his release from Iraqi prison will end ‘living nightmare'
An Irish resident who has been in jail in Iraq for the last four years is 'unrecognisable', his wife, Desree Pether, has said. Robert Pether, originally from Australia, was released on bail on Thursday. He was arrested in April 2021 along with an Egyptian colleague Khalid Radwan on suspicion of theft. Mr Pether has been held in a cell with 20 other prisoners. The United Nations says it has been an arbitrary detention. The arrest arose out of a contract dispute. Mr Pether was an engineer working for the Dubai-based engineering firm CME Consulting on rebuilding Iraq's Central Bank headquarters in Baghdad. READ MORE His wife said Mr Pether is 'very sick at the moment' and she wants to bring him back to Ireland. The couple bought a former convent in Elphin, Co Roscommon, five years ago with a view to turning into a herbal therapy centre. She is an Irish citizen through her Dublin-born father. Last night she saw him for the first time in four years on video and it was a 'shock'. 'I was very happy to see him – but also to see the state of him, he was completely unrecognisable'. [ Robert Pether released on bail after four years in Iraqi jail Opens in new window ] 'It's a shock to the system to see how he has declined. He's not well at all. He needs to come home to get the proper medical care he needs.' Ms Pether said it has been a 'a living nightmare' to try and get her husband out from jail. She wants to get a travel ban on Mr Pether lifted so he can return to Ireland. 'I'm hoping there is light at the end of the tunnel. I'm hoping we can get through this. It's been beyond frustrating. It's not over. It's one small step in the right direction,' she told the RTÉ Radio 1's Morning Ireland programme. He has lost a lot of weight as he has been unable to eat properly since being incarcerated, she said. The couple have three children, Flynn, Oscar and daughter Nala. Tánaiste and Minster for Foreign Affairs Simon Harris welcomed Mr Pether's release. Robert Pether with his wife, Desree, who lives in Elphin with their children He was told yesterday evening by Iraq's foreign minister Fuad Hussein that Mr Pether was being released unconditionally. 'This is very welcome news in what has been a long and distressing saga for Robert's wife, three children and his wider family and friends,' the Tánaiste said.
