The total amount paid in respect of legal and related costs to assist the Stardust Victims Committee's participation in the independent examination carried out into their case for a renewed inquiry was €424,300 including VAT. While it was initially agreed by Government that €400,000 should be paid to a nominated firm of solicitors for all legal costs incurred by the Stardust Victims Committee, including the use of professional witnesses, this was increased by an additional €24,300 in line with a recommendation made by Mr. Paul Coffey S.C.
