We have heard a lot of talk about the cost of the Saville Inquiry. Even if the Saville inquiy was used as a bargining tool during peace talks in Northern Ireland. We should look at what possible death's that could have occured had the peace process not continued. The cost of this could have doubled or even trebeled that of the Saville Inquiry.

Tim collins was insensitive and arrogant, even making the comparison of cost per life proves this, the only sensible thing he said was that the armed forces should be more open in these situations but he even tainted that comment with 'because it could save us a lot of money'.
