The statutorily based National Sports Campus Development Authority (NSCDA) took over the role and function of Campus and Stadium Ireland Development Ltd. (CSID) on 1 January 2007 and a fully owned subsidiary of the Authority, NSCDA (Operations) Ltd., now operates the National Aquatic Centre. I have been informed by the NSCDA that, to the end of May 2010, legal costs amounting to €152,141 have been incurred by CSID/NSCDA in connection with the proceedings to recover the outstanding VAT charge. This figure excludes the costs incurred in the Supreme Court hearing which have yet to be advised.
