Priorities for law reform

Summary

Browne asked for a priority list of laws for Commission review, citing wandering horses. The Taoiseach said the Commission had reported on many topics and identified the relevant report as one on civil liability for animals.

Is it not a fact that one of the recommendations of the Law Reform Commission was in respect of wandering horses? In the circumstances of so many of our laws, would the Taoiseach not recommend that the Law Reform Commission should establish a list of priorities in relation to the urgency of laws which should be considered by them?

This is a matter of argument. Question No. 9.

That is a rather cynical reference to the law on wandering horses. The Law Reform Commission have reported on many other topics as well and the report to which the Deputy referred in regard to wandering horses is entitled "Civil Liability for Animals".

Are not the matters referred to in my question more important?
