Ms Niamh O'Donoghue:
It depends on the stage an issue is at. This is an ongoing case and advices must be obtained even with regard to the changes made in the legislation last year and what it prompted or otherwise. At that time there was very regular communication because of other developments, and perhaps it is less regular at present. With regard to whether the Attorney General has raised the specific issue of the delay, I cannot answer the question, but I can raise it.
