There are approximately 230 staff working in the Chief State Solicitor's office at the moment. To be exact, the figure is 225, out of a complement of 243. There is a difficulty with appointing solicitors to the office at the moment. The office is trying to deal with that and to hold on to its young solicitors who can get far higher salaries in the private sector.
