Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 16 February 2017
311. Deputy John Deasy asked the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation the amount spent during 2016 by her Department and by each named public body under her Department's remit on legal services, by reference to each firm or individual engaged, in tabular form; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [8043/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe following table sets out the amount spent on external legal advice by my Department and its Offices in 2016. My Department seeks, where possible, to minimise legal costs. The Department avails of the services of the Chief State Solicitor’s office and the Attorney General’s office for the provision of legal advice where possible. The services of legal cost accountants are availed of where fees demanded appear to be high.
Expenditure on legal services by agencies under the aegis of my Department is a day to day operational matter for the agencies involved. I have asked each agency to provide the information sought to the Deputy.
