Written answers
My Department has held without prejudice discussions with the club referred to by the Deputy regarding a claim they have made against my Department in order to ascertain if the matter could be resolved. My Department on legal advice does not accept any liability in respect of the claim made by the club. Any without prejudice offer made by my Department in an effort to resolve the matter would entail a special payment that would have to be sanctioned by my colleague the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform. Due to the without prejudice nature of these discussions my Department cannot comment further on the detail of this matter at this time.
