Would Ms Buckley agree with me in regard to the colossal legal bill of €10 million, which was taxpayers’ money? From what Ms Buckley is saying, the vast majority of that was certainly not money well spent. The decision was taken to legally challenge many of these cases on unsound planning grounds. Whatever about external legal people, and whatever about the decision that was taken to contest these cases, it certainly was not value for money.
