When Ms Egan spoke about solicitor recruitment and retention, she said that new "solicitors are paid less than their comparators in the Office of the DPP and the Chief State Solicitor's Office." This may be a bit unfair but I will say it anyway. Is it a judgment on our society that we look at people in need of legal aid as being something less and, therefore, they do not get the resources and they are not the people who the legal system is there to protect and work on behalf of?
