I wish to inform the Deputy that the person concerned has brought several legal challenges before the courts in this State as well as a case before the European Court of Human Rights. This involved in excess of 20 Court appearances. The person referred to was unsuccessful in all of those cases and therefore the State has not made any contribution to her legal costs.
The information sought by the Deputy, in as much as it is available, is being compiled and will be communicated to him in due course.
