Mr. Damien Moloney:
They are on a broader list and we look at the list and we put suitable counsel onto a panel. Officials recommend suggested names to the Attorney General but the final arbiter and say is with the Attorney General of the day. The reason for that is the personal nature of the advisory service under the Constitution that the Attorney General offers to Departments and offices of the Government.
