I propose taking Questions Nos. 835 and 855 together.

The issues raised by the Deputy have been considered in the Department and sanction has been received from the Department of Finance to progress the matter. The Department will be contacting the Chief State Solicitor's Office so that the necessary legal arrangements can be put in place so that the matter can be finalised.
