View answer827 Deputy Damien English asked the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food the number of applications for judicial review that her Department was responsible for in each of the years 1997 to 2007; the number of applications where leave was granted for each year; and if she will present the information in tabular readable form. [1119/08]
View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 826 and 827 together.
The number of Judicial Reviews for the period 1997 to 2007 for which leave was granted is set out in the table. However, information in relation to full details of costs and damages over the period of time requested by the Deputy is not readily available, and such information cannot be assembled without undue commitment of staff resources and administrative costs. Should the Deputy have a query in relation to a specific Judicial Review in which my Department was involved, or can limit the time period involved, I will endeavour to have the information provided.
