Mr. Seamus McCarthy:
In most appropriation accounts there would be a subhead in the administration area dealing with legal expenses. Some of that would perhaps be where a case was lost and there would be recoupment through the State Claims Agency and so on. In general, the costs on the State side are paid through the Office of the Chief State Solicitor.
