The Attorney General's office has reached a bit more than what I just said. It has 170 staff with a further increase due this year. It needs space to accommodate the additional staff. The office is engaging with the OPW to secure suitable additional office accommodation. In the last six years, it has grown a lot. Staff numbers will increase to 206, which is an increase of 44% since 2020.
