PQ 785
830 Deputy James McDaid asked the Minister for Defence the amount of compensation paid to claimants in County Donegal under the victims of Army deafness compensation scheme; the amount of money paid in legal fees to legal representatives of these victims; the breakdown of the fees paid to individual legal representatives in County Donegal; the reason it appears legal representatives of these victims were not adequately reimbursed by the State, for their work on behalf of the victims, as a percentage fee on the overall amount of compensation allocated was charged by some solicitors, prior to the victims receiving their compensation; and if in instances where victims feel they have been overcharged by legal representatives in relation to fees, there is provision for them to seek reimbursement under the scheme.
