The information requested by the Deputy is available on my Department's website at the following link http://www.dttas.ie/corporate/english/expenditure-external-services. These figures relate to the period to end October 2013. However, an update is currently in progress and figures to the end of 2013 will shortly be available on the site.

Information in respect of legal fees paid out by State bodies under the remit of my Departments is a matter for the relevant agency. I have forwarded the Deputy's request to the agencies for direct reply to him. If he does not receive a reply within 10 working days please contact my private office.
