The identification of records prior to January 2007 cannot be facilitated without undue commitment of staff resources and administrative cost. However, if the Deputy has a question in relation to a specific item I will make appropriate enquiries. The table below contains details of legal costs incurred by my Department from January 2007 to date. Any such expenditure by the bodies under the aegis of the Department is a day to day operational matter for those bodies.
