Mr. Liam O'Daly:

The procedure within the Office of the Attorney General in respect of turnaround times as to advice is that we have eight-week reports. We have weekly meetings to ensure there is progress on files.

We have a number of risk management procedures in place to ensure nothing is held up from the point of view of legal advice. We like to think the turnaround period in that regard is immediate. The client Departments are usually on to us very quickly because they want it urgently.
