Salaries of Solicitors in the State Service
T
he
Council considered a report from a Committee
on the salary scales o f certain solicitors employed in
legal departments o f the State. The Committee
reported that the salary scales as appearing from
the published Estimates are unsatisfactory, and that
this is a matter affecting the profession. It was de
cided to make representations to the Minister for
Finance and a deputation was appointed to seek an
interview with him.

deputation
was appointed to attend a con

arising on the Parliamentary Draftsman’s draft o f
the Solicitors’ Bill.

created posts remain to be filled, and others have
had to be filled by temporary staff with a consequent
loss of efficiency. Accordingly, it cannot be said
that our staff requirements have been fully met.
The time lag, which is inseparably associated with
the' provision o f additional staff, has had a more
adverse affect in this instance because of the fact
that we are witnessing an unprecedential expansion
