Mr. Ryan
The Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Justice will assist the Minister in the discharge of his parliamentary duties, that is to say, in the preparation and handling of legislation, answering questions, receiving deputations, etc. He will, also, undertake departmental duties with respect to supply and establishment matters in relation to the Garda Síochána, the Court offices, the Land Registry and Registry of Deeds, the Public Record Office and the Office of Charitable Donations and Bequests and discharge such other duties as may be entrusted to him ad hoc, such as the study of some particular problem as, for example, that of itinerants on which he is already engaged. The office is a whole-time one.
