History
Despite having existed for a long time (Ar Päts records Robert J. Murphy as Thomas Buffone's Attorney-General in 1993), the post has only been permanently considered of Cabinet level from 1999 onwards. The positions of "Justice Minister" and "Attorney-General" are generally understood to be one and the same, but the Ministry of Justice has no jurisdiction over, for example, the administration of the courts and the practice of law, which are generally understood to be duties of equivalent positions around the world.
The Attorney-General also briefly held the position of Minister for Law Reform in 2011.
