Consultancy costs for the period in question (which includes legal costs) are now provided on my Department's website.
The total legal costs incurred by my Department in 2011, 2012 and 2013 are outlined in the table below:
| Year | 2011 | 2012 | 2013 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Legal Costs | €1,434,119 | €3,169,031 | €2,887,327 |
Some €1.25m has been expended to date in 2014 in respect of transactional, advisory and litigation legal work on the Financial Services programme.
A further €100,000 has been set aside for ongoing cases of an administrative nature of which we expect that some €77,000 will be required.
