As the person who posed the question, I understand the restrictions on legal advice, but the question is also about who provided the advice.
Was it the Attorney General or the in-house legal team? While there may be a prohibition on sharing the advice, there is none on stating where the advice was garnered from.
I mentioned the allocation of €350,000 for administration in respect of Housing for All. Under which of subheadings, namely Nos. 1 to 8, does the allocation go? Is it under consultancy, as we discussed, or salaries? There is no detail in the Estimates on that.
