Written answers

Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform (Mr. McDowell)

I can confirm that interviews for the position of county registrar for County Clare were held by the Appointments Advisory Board, and that ten eligible candidates were interviewed. A memorandum on the appointment in question is currently with the Government and I expect that a decision will be made shortly.
