In the Republic of Ireland, a commission of investigation is a statutory commission established under the Commissions of Investigation Act 2004 to investigate a matter of "urgent public concern".[1][2] A commission of investigation is a less expensive but less powerful alternative to a tribunal of inquiry.[1][3]

The Commission to Inquire into Child Abuse had been established in 2000 by a specific Act of the Oireachtas,[4] with further acts passed subsequently to amend its operation.[5] The Commissions of Investigation Act 2004 was intended to provide a template so that further commissions could be established more simply, by statutory instrument after a resolution by the houses of the Oireachtas.
