Chief Minister Alfred Cannan committed to examining the remit of the position several months ago after several senior officers left their posts.
It followed an industrial tribunal which found a top medic was unfairly sacked for whistleblowing.
Mr Cannan expects decisons to be announced in the near future:
Prosecutor: 'Recording any other verdict than murder would be illogical'
Several government websites taken offline 'as a precaution'
Douglas Council and Dublin City Council sign friendship agreement
