The information the Deputy is seeking is not readily available. The expenditure on external legal costs by my Department and agencies under the aegis of my Department, other than the HSE, in each of the past five years is being collated and will be forwarded directly to the Deputy as soon as it is available. With regard to expenditure on external legal costs by the HSE this is a matter for the HSE and accordingly I have referred the question to the HSE for its attention.
