My Department incurred no expenditure in respect of external professional legal services in the years 2014, 2019 or 2020.

The Moriarty Tribunal of Inquiry and the Commissions of Investigation, which are independent of my Department, have sanction to engage legal counsel, as required, to assist them in their work. All legal services fees are paid at rates approved by the Government.
