Office of the Parliamentary Counsel jobs

They're going to focus on legal skills, not legal knowledge, and (I'm guessing) in particular on skills relevant to drafting - so problem analysis, spotting legal issues, general awareness of how legislation works, legal writing (with a focus on clarity, comprehensibility, precision, avoidance of ambiguity).

(On edit: A few years ago I applied for a drafting position in another common-law jurisdiction. They gave me a sample provision establishing, regulating the membership of, and conferring functions on, a statutory board, which contained a number of, um, less that optimal drafting characteristics, and they have me half-an-hour to look at it. They weren't looking for a highly-polished finished draft; just for comment on the sample draft that showed the candidate had an understanding of what might need to be addressed in such a project, and suggestions as to how parts of it might have been done differently. It was all fairly informal. But of course it could be quite different in the Irish Parliamentary Counsel's office.
