asked the Minister for Finance if he will state the scale on which fees to the law officers and to counsel are fixed; and how much did such fees amount to in the last financial year.
CEISTEANNA—QUESTIONS ORAL ANSWERS. - LAW OFFICERS' AND COUNSELS' FEES.
The Attorney-General receives no fees for appearing on behalf of the State. The fees for other counsel are fixed by the Attorney-General in each case, taking into account the importance and magnitude of the case and the amount of labour involved. There was paid from the Vote for Law Charges in the last financial year in respect of such fees a sum of £11,561 11s. 0d.
