Catherine Murphy (SD), Kildare North

We have just seen the announcement for the St. Patrick's Day visits. The Attorney General is normally part of the visit to Washington D.C. with the Taoiseach, which is a very important visit. In a breach with that protocol up to now, the list today shows that the Attorney General will be a solo dignitary to Argentina and Chile. There seems to be a deviation from the Attorney General being the legal adviser to the Government to taking a more political role. Why has this happened in this case? Why has there been a deviation?
