The Attorney General's Office expresses dissatisfaction with the budget allocation for 2024, stating it is completely insufficient to maintain existing services. They seek extra funding from the Public Expenditure Minister.
The Attorney General's Office warned the budget they were being offered for 2024 was"completely insufficient" and would not even be enough to existing services.
In pre-budget correspondence, the Attorney General said they wanted to express their"surprise and concerns" that they had only been allocated €23.8m -"significantly below" what they had been seeking. "An additional €750,000 is absolutely necessary in the provisional estimates to meet essential service needs in 2024, bringing the provisional 2024 Office estimate to €24.5m," they warned.
In subsequent correspondence over finalising budget figures, the Attorney General’s office said it was"not satisfied" with its budget for 2024 and a formal review of department figures for the year was only being done"in that context". There were similar issues at the Chief State Solicitor’s Office , who were also deeply unhappy after they too prepared a lengthy business case seeking a substantial increase in their funding levels to €56.8m.
