The role of the Attorney General, as provided for in the Constitution, is to advise the Government in matters of law and legal opinion.

The Attorney General’s Office provides a range of legal services to the Government and to Government Departments and Offices.

There are no plans at present for significant or fundamental reform of the Attorney General’s Office.

The Attorney General’s Office, just like other Departments and Offices, seeks to operate as efficiently and effectively as possible. It embraces organisational change and development in order to meet the growing demands on its services.
