I wish to advise the Deputy that the legal fees incurred by my Department from 2004 up to and including 2020 are outlined in tabular form as follows. The Deputy is advised that it is not possible to provide the figures incurred pre-2004, as the financial information system in place at that time no longer exists and the records are not readily accessible.

Year Total Legal Costs (€)
2004* 3,967,084
2005 9,563,190
2006 9,199,436
2007 12,856,975
2008 15,967,516
2009 18,038,644
