Question 83: To ask the Taoiseach his views on the timeframe for decisions from the Office of the Chief State Solicitor and his further views that the office would benefit from participating in the jobs initiative such as job bridge which would provide great opportunities for Law and FE 1 exam graduates while also helping to speed up decision-making.

It is not clear what type of decisions the Deputy is referring to. In general the Chief State Solicitor's Office acts on the decisions or instructions of its client Departments and Offices. The time-frame for such decisions is often dictated by court deadlines, rules of court or legislation.

The Office is already committed to making some appointments under the FÁS Work Placement Scheme and will consider the merits of availing of the recently announced Job Bridge Scheme.
