With the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, I propose to take Questions Nos. 6, 7 and 8 together. I would refer the Deputies to the First Programme of Law Reform and to the First Report of the Law Reform Commission which were laid before the Houses on 4 January 1977 and 13 March 1978, respectively. At the moment, it is not proposed to refer additional matters to the commission.
