Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 12 November 2013
238. Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht if he will provide in tabular form for each year since he was provided with a budget the total cumulative amount in euro paid by his Department to senior counsel; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [48150/13]
View answerAs the Deputy will be aware, my Department was established on 2 June 2011 and I am advised that it has made no payments to Senior Counsel since that date.
For completeness, I would bring to the Deputy's attention that my Department makes payments from time to time to the Chief State Solicitor's Office in respect of legal services that it provides to my Department.
