Jim O'Keeffe
Question:70 Mr. J. O'Keeffe asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the way in which he considers that training and work experience of solicitors renders them unsuitable for the position of legal advisers to the Office of the Director of Equality Investigations and to the Equality Authority; and the steps, if any, he will take to open up these positions to the 6,800 solicitors currently precluded from applying.
