Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 21 June 2022
561. Deputy Pa Daly asked the Minister for Education further to Parliamentary Question No. 377 of 31 May 2022, the amount that was paid to each barrister in actions in which she is a named party in 2019, 2020, 2021 and to date in 2022, in tabular form. [32252/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraI can advise the Deputy that the legal costs incurred by the State's legal team in defending cases in which I am named as a party are not met directly by my Department. In accordance with established financial procedures such costs are generally charged to the Chief State Solicitors Office (CSSO) Vote as sanctioned by the Attorney General (AG).
Accordingly my Department does not hold the information sought by the Deputy in relation to the cases referred to.
