208. To ask the Minister for Education and Skills if his Department has been involved in any court proceedings that involved non-disclosure agreements in the past five years; and, if so, if the specific court ruling prevented knowledge of the court proceeding being known and knowledge of the participants to the court proceeding from being made known for each of these agreements.

I can confirm to the Deputy that my Department has been involved in court proceedings in the past five years that involved non-disclosure agreements. As cases may involve sensitive matters regarding minors, the terms of the settlement and/or the identity of the minor may be covered by such non-disclosure agreements.
