asked the Minister for Justice if he is aware that uncertainty exists as to the limits of Admiralty Jurisdiction of the Cork Circuit Court; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I am aware that there are certain difficulties in regard to the jurisdiction of the Cork Local Admiralty Court.

The position of the Court is being clarified in sections 23 and 55 of the Courts (Supplemental Provisions) Bill, 1959, which was circulated last week.
