491. Deputy Peadar Tóibín asked the Minister for Justice the amount in legal fees incurred by her Department in 2020 and in each of the years 2000 to 2020. [23569/21]
View answerI wish to advise the Deputy that the legal fees incurred by my Department from 2004 up to and including 2020 are outlined in tabular form as follows. The Deputy is advised that it is not possible to provide the figures incurred pre-2004, as the financial information system in place at that time no longer exists and the records are not readily accessible.
