The information requested in respect of my Department’s expenditure on legal services in 2016 is detailed below. The information requested by the Deputy in respect of agencies is not held centrally by my Department. Expenditure on legal services by agencies under the aegis of my Department is a matter for each agency. If the Deputy has an interest in a particular agency then officials in my Department will request the agency concerned to provide the relevant information insofar as it is possible.
