The appointment of the Legal Services Ombudsman is a matter for Government. However, in advance of bringing a proposal to Government, my Department is considering the implications for the making of an appointment, of the commitment in the Memorandum of Understanding on Specific Economic Policy Conditionality related to the EU/IMF Programme of Financial Support to Ireland, to legislate for the appointment of an independent regulator of the legal profession.
