Vol. 407 No. 5

Written Answers. - High Court Actions.

Alan Shatter

Ceist:

56 Mr. Shatter asked the Minister for the Environment the number of High Court cases in which the Minister for the Environment of the day was named as a defendant in court proceedings in each of the last ten years; the issues involved in such proceedings; the number of such cases successfully defended by him; the number of such cases in which the plaintiff was successful; the amount of legal costs incurred by the State in each year in respect of such cases; and the amount of legal costs paid out by the State in each year pursuant to orders for costs made against him.

It would not be practicable, having regard to the time available and the inordinate commitment of staff time and resources that would be involved, in this Department and elsewhere, to compile the very detailed information requested.
