Foreword by the Attorney General

 

I am pleased to present the Office’s Annual Report for 2006. This is the sixth Annual Report of the Office to be published since I was appointed to the position of Attorney General in June, 2002.

The publication of an Annual Report by the Office is now well-established and provides an opportunity to outline the many activities and initiatives undertaken by the Office throughout the year.

I am particularly pleased that the timeliness of preparation and publication of the Annual Report has greatly improved over the last 5 years. Prior to then, the Office had produced only one Annual Report.

This Annual Report highlights the wide range of legal and drafting services provided by both the Merrion Street Office and the Chief State Solicitor’s Office. In addition, it also highlights the importance of the ongoing modernisation initiatives being implemented throughout the Offices which are client-focussed, provide an efficient and timely service as well as availing of the latest information technology.

I wish to express my sincere appreciation to all of the staff in both Offices for their dedication, support and service.

Rory Brady, SC
Attorney General
