asked the Minister for Justice if it is proposed to reorganise the Censorship of Publications Board and Appeals Board; and, if so, if he will give particulars.

I have no proposals in mind for any reorganisation of the boards.

Is the Censorship Board now in operation again? Is the Appeals Board, or whatever is its proper title, also in operation?

The Censorship Board is in operation. The Appeals Board is not in operation at the moment. I understand the position of chairman has to be filled and there are some technical questions regarding the qualifications of the chairman under the Act. I hope to resolve that matter shortly.

When did the Censorship Board last meet?

I have not got that information. When I say that, I do not know if it has met since it was reconstituted so I might be misleading the Deputy.

Will the Minister appoint a chairman soon?

I hope so.
