Trevor Sargent (Dublin North, Green Party)

The Taoiseach mentioned rejection of the offer. Was that based on monetary considerations alone or has there been an evaluation of the effects of the transfer of the Chief State Solicitor's office from the Attorney General to the DPP? Was that done independently, particularly with regard to the general efficiency of the proposal and the effects on individual cases? Has the Taoiseach any views on the effects or merits of the change?

Will the Taoiseach indicate the status of the offer of increased remuneration regarding the State solicitors? Does the Taoiseach think this is all about remuneration or are there other issues that must be clarified?
