I have been advised by IBRC that disclosure of this information is commercially sensitive. However, legal fees incurred by IBRC are included as part of Other Administrative Costs, or where applicable Exceptional Costs, as published in the Bank’s Annual Report & Accounts and Interim Report. The 2011 Annual Report & Accounts for IBRC show Other Administrative Costs of €108m and Exceptional Costs of €82m. However, these figures are not exclusively made up of legal fees. The H1 2012 Interim Report reflects Other Administrative Costs of €45m and Exceptional Costs of €25m.
