Deputy, in the first instance please note that the makeup of the Department has varied over the course of the years 2000 to 2020. In 2002 the transfer of National Roads functions to the then Department of Public Enterprise resulted in a change of name to Department of Transport. In 201, the transfer in of Tourism and Sport functions resulted in a change of name to Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport. In 2020 the transfer out of Tourism and Sport functions resulted in a change of name to Department of Transport.
The table below documents the amount incurred in legal fees by my Department (in all of the formations outlined above) for the years 2000 to 2020.
