123. Deputy John Deasy asked the Minister for Finance the amount spent during 2016 by his Department and by each named public body under his Department’s remit on legal services, by reference to each firm or individual engaged, in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [8040/17]
View answerThe amount spent during 2016 by my Department and by named public bodies under my Department's remit on legal services is set out in the attached document. In the time available, it was not possible to provide these details for all bodies under the aegis of my Department and the outstanding detail will be provided shortly in line with Standing Orders.
My Department publishes on a quarterly basis on its website the amounts spent by the Department on legal and consultancy services. It should also be noted that my Department recoups certain legal expenses incurred in relation to the stabilisation of the banking sector and this is noted on the attached table.
