asked the Minister for Finance if he will indicate (i) the number of barristers-at-law who received work under the late Administration who still receive work, and (ii) to what extent financially they still benefit.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Employment of Barristers.
With the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, I shall arrange to have printed in the Official Report a statement showing the fees paid in the financial years 1947-48 and 1948-49 to counsel briefed on behalf of the State.
I may add that the present Attorney-General does not maintain any panel of counsel for State work, all practising barristers being eligible for consideration for such work according to their suitability.
Following is the statement:—
