Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform (Deputy Dermot Ahern)

I wish to advise the Deputy that, further to Parliamentary Question no. 345 of 9 June 2009, the total cost on cases involving this individual has now increased to €34,135. There is a further €2,267 pending approval. This cost is made up exclusively of payments to outside counsel.
