Question:

249. Deputy Peadar Tóibín asked the Minister for Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government if his Department has been involved in any court proceedings that involved non-disclosure agreements in the past five years; and if so, if the specific court ruling prevented knowledge of the court proceeding being known and knowledge of the participants to the court proceeding from being made known for each of these agreements.

Written answers

Minister for Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government

In the past five years my Department was involved in court proceedings in one case involving a confidentiality agreement. This case was the subject of an out of court settlement and the agreement did not prevent knowledge of either the court proceedings or the participants to the court proceedings from being made known.
