Who is putting the Question for Deputy Briscoe, Sir?
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Posts Held by Attorneys General.
The following Question appeared on the Order Paper in the name of Deputy Briscoe:
1. To ask the Taoiseach whether since February, 1948, any person or persons, while holding the office of Attorney General, held any other office, post or appointment; and, if so, if he will state in each case the nature of the posts in question, and the remuneration attaching to each.
Mise, a Cheann Comhairle.
The Chief Whip.
The Attorney General who held office from the 2nd June, 1954, to the 20th March, 1957, held a Professorship in the Faculty of Law in University College, Dublin. There is no information available in my Department as to the remuneration paid to him by University College, Dublin, during that period.
Is the Taoiseach aware that during the tenure of office of that Attorney General, there were no charges against any person of the embezzlement of £750,000 which the Supreme Court rejected as improperly drawn?
I am not so aware.
