Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 1 December 2016
149. Deputy Michael McGrath asked the Minister for Finance the amount of legal fees paid by his Department in respect of tribunals of inquiry established by the State and any resulting legal actions, by tribunal for each of the years 2006 to 2016 to date, in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [38183/16]
Amharc ar fhreagraThis question has been copy transferred to other Government Departments.
With regard only to legal fees paid by the Department of Finance in respect of tribunals of inquiry established by the State and any resulting legal actions for the years 2006 to 2016, it has not been possible in the time available to establish definitively the extent of any such legal fees which may have been incurred. No such legal fees have been identified at this point, but my investigations have not been completed. In the event that any such fees are identified following further investigation I will revert to the Deputy in writing, as soon as such information is to hand.
