National Treasury Management Agency: Financial Statements 2017 (Resumed) (12 Jul 2018) Seán Fleming: We will let someone else talk to Mr. Dorgan about that.

On legal costs, "in 2017, the SCA settled 440 bills of costs received from third parties for €55.2 million - a reduction of 48% on the €106.9 million claimed". One would...
