53 Mr. Quinn asked the Taoiseach the current number of staff vacancies by grade in the Office of the Attorney General; and when these will be filled. [12758/00]
54 Mr. Quinn asked the Taoiseach if his attention has been drawn to the difficulties being experienced in accessing the Irish Statute Book on the website of the Office of the Attorney General; the steps planned to make the Statute Book more accessible; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [12759/00]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 53 and 54 together.
The approved staffing levels in the Office of the Attorney General are set out in the following table which will be circulated in the Official Report. The vacancies are to be filled by means of open competition through the Civil Service Commission. The arrangements for a senior draftsman recruitment competition are being made.
The vacancies in the administration category are at clerical level. Assignment has already been received for four of these vacancies. In addition, the office uses contract staff for a number of specialist positions, including library, drafting, indexing and typing. The office is in discussion with the Department of Finance and expects to increase its numbers.
