Vol. 478 No. 3

Written Answers. - Beef Tribunal Expenses.

Ivor Callely

Ceist:

107 Mr. Callely asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry the outstanding legal fees due to be claimed arising from the beef tribunal; the persons or companies which have submitted such claims; and the moneys paid out to date; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [10997/97]

Ivor Callely

Ceist:

112 Mr. Callely asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry the outstanding claims, if any, there are for witness expenses from civil servants arising out of the beef tribunal; if his attention has been drawn to all other claims by professional solicitors and barristers which have been submitted; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [11002/97]

I propose to take Questions Nos. 107 and 112 together.

The following table gives a breakdown of all the costs orders made by the chairman of the beef tribunal and in the cases where the Taxing Master has made orders it shows the amounts paid to date by this Department. The claim from the legal representatives of Deputy O'Malley has been taxed by the Taxing Master and objections are being prepared. No bills of costs have been presented for taxation in any case other than those shown in the table. My Department has no outstanding claims for witness expenses from civil servants. The question of an appeal to the High Court in relation to the recent ruling by the Taxing Master in the Laurence Goodman, Goodman International and Subsidiary Companies claim is being considered.
