I am advised that there has been one ex-parte application relating to the OGP as part of the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform but no other cases. No costs have been incurred in relation to this matter.

The Commissioners of Public Works were involved in two cases predating the establishment of the OGP which the OGP, as the successor organisation with responsibility for those arrangements, is now managing. Costs have not been finalised in these matters.
