Deputy Richard Boyd Barrett asked the Minister for Finance the amount paid for external legal services in each of the years 2012 to 2017; the details of these payments; the companies that received the payments; the amount received by each company; the hourly rates that applied to each company; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 188 and 189 together.
The information requested by the Deputy for 2012 to 2016 is contained in the attached documents. These documents are already available at https://www.finance.gov.ie/corporate/obligations/financials/consultancy/
The information requested for 2017 is contained in the table below. Figures for the full year of 2017 and for 2018 to date are due to be published on the website shortly.
The majority of these contracts have set fees and hourly rates would not apply. Where hourly rates have been charged, these would be considered commercially sensitive, and therefore we are not in a position to make this information available.
