Ceist:

621. Deputy Peadar Tóibín asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if his Department has been involved in any court proceedings that involved non-disclosure agreements in the past five years; and if so, if the specific court ruling prevented knowledge of the court proceeding being known and knowledge of the participants to the court proceeding from being made known for each of these agreements.

Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport

My Department has been involved in one court case during the timeframe mentioned by the Deputy which was settled in full and final settlement and without admission of liability. It was agreed by the parties involved that the terms of the settlement were to remain confidential. The proceedings were subsequently struck out.
