It is not possible to compile the information requested by the Deputy within the short timeframe available. My Department will write to the Deputy within the next two weeks detailing the information requested, save for the annual expenditure on external legal costs by each of the agencies under my aegis, as the incurrence of such costs is a matter for each agency.
