Does the Taoiseach regard the Office of the Attorney General as a non-political office? I understand the Attorney General has a special adviser who has a political role. As the Attorney General must give advice to the Government, is his office viewed as non-political? When does the Taoiseach expect we will have an on-line version of the pre-1922 statutes that are still legally effective? Persons who wish to gain access to them are very restricted.

Given the on-line version of legislation, which is the one most readily accessible to citizens, researchers, academics, legal practitioners, etc., has been seen to be less than 100% correct, has a trawl been carried out as to the number of items of legislation that are inaccurate in the on-line version? Is the Taoiseach's Department aware certain Acts published on-line are not fully accurate? Is an analysis of that deficiency currently ongoing, and does the Taoiseach have any information as to when, or if, that work will be concluded?
