The payments made by my Department to legal firms during 2013 for services rendered to it are as follows:

JD Scanlon Solicitors €258.30; Siobhan Fahy Solicitors €13,454.47; Patricia Martin Solicitors €4,044.90; A & L Goodbody Solicitors €8364.00; Arthur Cox Solicitors €12341.94. With regard to the public bodies under the aegis of my Department, arrangements and expenditure in relation to legal fees is an operational matter for each individual body and therefore the information requested is not collated centrally.
