The Taoiseach:
Yes. It would obviously fall under the remit of the Attorney General's office. We do not have a role in that. I do not have a role as regards the specifics of who is retained. Over the period of the work on the planning Act, given the enormity of the legislation, external legal advice was sought. What the Deputy is witnessing is the winding-down of that as the Act has now been passed. The respective Departments are now actually dealing with it.
