I have served as Attorney General of Ireland since December 2022.
In this constitutional role, I attend Cabinet as the adviser to the Government in matters of law and legal opinion and I oversee the work of the Office of the Attorney General, comprising Advisory Counsel, the Office of the Parliamentary Counsel to the Government and the Office of the Chief State Solicitor.
I lead significant litigation on behalf of the State before the Irish Courts and I represent the State before the International Court of Justice, the Court of Justice of the European Union and the European Court of Human Rights.
I am a Member of the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague, a Member of the Council of State, a Member of the Judicial Appointments Commission, a Member of the General Council of the Bar of Ireland, a Council Member of King’s Inns and a Member of the Advisory Committee on the grant of Patents of Precedence.
