Telex in the Law Library
Dear Mr. Ivers,
Following requests from several solicitors' offices, the
Bar Council has installed a telex machine in the Law
Library. It occurs to me that the following relevant
information could be most conveniently disseminated, if
the Society thinks fit, through the medium of the Society's
Gazette.
The telex number is LALI 4845.
Due to lack of other accommodation, the apparatus
has had to be installed in the main body of the Law
Library. Two consequences flow from this:
(i) No answering service can be provided. That means
that a solicitor may telex the Law Library, but the
relevant barrister will not be able to telex a reply.
(ii) Messages received will not be private. Messages will
be removed regularly and placed on the recipient's desk
but may in the meantime be read by other Counsel who
may be expecting a telex.
Yours sincerely,
G. D. Coyle
(Secretary)
Office of the Minister for the Public Service,
Dublin 2 (19 May 1977)
re: Adjudication Office
Dear Mr. Ivers,
I have, as promised, been looking into the matter raised
in your letter of 5 April 1977 regarding the Adjudication
Office in the Office of the Revenue Commissioners.
I am pleased to tell you that the Revenue
Commissioners have already taken steps towards
removing the grounds for your complaints. They have
assigned additional staff to the Office to cope with the
increasing demands and to clear the arrears which have,
unfortunately, built up over a period. For my part I am
authorising the assignment of still more staff to the area in
order to ensure that the work is brought up to date at the
earliest possible moment. As to your reference to my
efforts to restrain the cost of the public service, I assure
you that my policy in this regard takes account at all
times of particular situations and it would never be my
intention to apply it in such a way that the efficiency of a
Department or Office suffered.
I am confident that there will be a rapid improvement
in the service provided by the Adjudication Office as a
result of the steps mentioned above. I will, of course, keep
the situation there under review in the months ahead.
Yours sincerely,
Richie Ryan,
Minister for the Public Service.
