The amount expended in respect of legal services sought by my Department from 1998 to date in 2005 is as follows.

Year Cases Nature of Service Cost
â'¬
1998-2003 Nil
2004 2 Provision of Senior Counsel advice on the Civil Defence Act. 4,598
2005 Nil Report commissioned on Health & Safety for Civil Defence Board. 1,800

My Department has recourse to the Offices of the Chief State Solicitor and the Attorney General for advice so often that it would be impossible to collate the information with regard to those offices.
