I am glad to hear that the Minister will introduce legislation in relation to amending the trial by jury system. One of the other factors clearly identified by the motor industry has been over-representation by the legal profession in the courts. Has the Minister any proposals in that area to streamline civil cases? Will he bring forward proposals in that area? Much of the cost of litigation is due to over-representation. There are two senior and one junior counsel and a solicitor representing one side and the same number of people representing the other side.

That does not arise on this question.

It is a major factor.

It may be, but if we were to discuss the work of the courts and the reasons for increases we would be covering a wide field.

I am trying to get at the factors which are causing these dramatic increases.

That is a seperate question, but I will leave it to the Minister.

(Limerick East): I have no such proposals at the moment.
