Vol. 407 No. 5

Written Answers. - High Court Actions.

Alan Shatter

Ceist:

59 Mr. Shatter asked the Minister for Health the number of High Court cases in which the Minister for Health 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.

The information sought by the Deputy is not readily available. Given the very detailed nature of the information requested I do not consider that the resources required to compile it would be justified.
