Public Accounts Committee

Environmental Protection Agency: Financial Statements 2017

9:00 am

Ms Laura Burke:

With regard to the prosecutions, we got €390,000, but the total legal costs, as the Deputy will see in the agency's accounts, were around €440,000. That is not only for prosecution, that is for other legal advice we would get, for example, on new legislation, etc. To answer the Deputy's question, there is a very high recovery of costs that we incur from prosecutions. We get almost full recovery.
