196. To ask the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine his views on whether sufficient progress is being made in reducing the State's legal bill in his Department and any State agencies under his aegis; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [25161/13]

My Department actively manages its legal affairs and constantly seeks to minimise legal costs. While legal costs incurred by State Bodies are an operational matter for the Bodies themselves, my Department promotes early engagement and active management of legal matters concerning them.
