94 Deputy Jack Wall asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs when her Department will present papers in relation to a Supreme Court case (details supplied) which was listed as a priority in view of the concerns of the appellant in the case; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35217/08]
Amharc ar fhreagraPreparation and presentation of papers to a court in respect of cases involving the State is a matter for the Office of the Chief State Solicitor. The position in relation to the case referred to by the Deputy is that the Department has made enquiries of that Office and it is my understanding that the book of appeal has been lodged and that a certificate of readiness will be lodged within a week or so. I also understand that the Office of the Chief State Solicitor has been in contact with the solicitor for the person concerned.
