Minister for Business, Enterprise and Innovation

The following table sets out a list of legal service providers utilised by the IDA from January to September 2018 and the cost of each particular service during that period. The professional fees referenced include a range of services, including land and building sales, land acquisition, lease transactions, grant recoveries and legal advice on various matters.

As to the number of hours, legal firms do submit billable hours where they are charging on a time - as opposed to set-fee - basis. When billed, IDA Ireland checks that the hourly rate charged is in accordance with the tenders submitted by the firms.
