Preparation and presentation of papers to a court in respect of cases involving the State is a matter for the Office of the Chief State Solicitor. The position in relation to the case referred to by the Deputy is that the Department has made enquiries of that Office and it is my understanding that the book of appeal has been lodged and that a certificate of readiness will be lodged within a week or so. I also understand that the Office of the Chief State Solicitor has been in contact with the solicitor for the person concerned.
