I regret the delay in providing a response to the Deputy's question regarding the amount of moneys spent by each of the third level universities on legal cases involving staff for each of the past five years. The Higher Education Authority has now collated the information requested which is detailed in the following tables.

1. Postings reported are only those transactions posted to Agresso codes Legal Fees, Professional Fees, Consultancy Fees.

2. Figures reported for the period from 2010-June 2013 (prior to the implementation of a Legal Services Tender) may not be a full record as a small number of invoices were not possible.

3. Figures were compiled on the basis of an assessment of legal invoices and invoices related to staff matters were extracted.

4. Figures provided on a calendar year basis.
