Adjournment Matter. - Occupational Pension Schemes.
Unfortunately, this Department cannot consent to your request to obtain a legal opinion on this issue. As you are aware, the Government's legal advisor is the Attorney General. Because of the doctrine of the separation of powers, the Attorney General does not furnish legal advice to the other branches of Government, that is to say to the legislative (members of the Oireachtas) or judicial branches or to the President.
