Dr. Brian Doherty:

That is what we are determined to have happen. We are currently working with an external adviser on the staffing requirements of the authority, determining and analysing the workload we will inherit from both the Law Society and the Bar Council. What is required under the new structures is more formalised in law. The informal resolution process, which has been carried out to some degree by the Law Society, is now enshrined in legislation. Once we are satisfied we have a robust staffing plan, we will take it to the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform for its sanction for the staffing levels and grades required. It is certainly our intention that we will be able to take complaints from the end of quarter two. It will be one of our objectives that they will be dealt with in a timely and robust fashion.
