I am advised that no expenditure was incurred from my Department's Administrative Budget in respect of external legal services since 2015.For completeness, I would bring to the Deputy's attention that, from time to time, my Department makes payments to the Chief State Solicitor's Office in respect of legal services provided to my Department by that Office.
