I propose to take Questions Nos. 66 and 67 together.

Since the formation of the 33rd Dáil, the Office of the Attorney General has made two appointments to the grade of Advisory Counsel Grade III (provision of legal advice and advising on the conduct of litigation); one appointment to the grade of Assistant Parliamentary Counsel Grade II (drafting of legislation); one appointment to the grade of Assistant Principal (HR function) and two appointments to the grade of Temporary Clerical Officer (administrative support).

They were appointed to the Civil Service pay scales appropriate to their grades and none are re-hires.

There is one Special Adviser, three personal assistants and one driver assigned to the Attorney General at present. The Office is in the process of agreeing contracts for these roles with the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform.
