Mr. Peter Finnegan:
I would like to bring something to the Deputy's attention before I clarify the matter she has just raised. We discovered late last night that the cost of €62,000 for claims made by employees, as set out on the page in question, included a cost that should have been included in a figure further down the page. The cost in question arose in a case in Rannóg an Aistriúcháin that involved the non-translation of Acts. The correct figure for legal costs for claims made by employees is approximately €10,000. I apologise for the discrepancy.
