Legal Costs |
€1,434,119 |
€3,169,031 |
€2,887,327 |
Some €1.25m has been expended to date in 2014 in respect of transactional, advisory and litigation legal work on the Financial Services programme.
A further €100,000 has been set aside for ongoing cases of an administrative nature of which we expect that some €77,000 will be required.
