71.

View answerIn seeking to provide the Deputy with the information requested, the assumption has been made that the question relates to civil proceedings taken by or against the Department or one of its offices.
During the years from 2009 to 2014, the total amount paid by my Department under the terms of settlements which included confidentiality agreements or confidentiality clauses was €65,000. This concerned two payments made in 2010, which related to a contribution to legal costs of two parties.
