Departmental Staff.

Brian Cowen (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail)
I am disabusing Deputy Gilmore of the idea that the Attorney General is compromised or undermined by reason of the fact he gives his advice without fear or favour. The purpose of the assistant to the Attorney General is, as I stated earlier, to assist him in all of the contacts between Departments. There is no way his legal independence is compromised or undermined in any way, and neither would he contemplate it for a moment.
