Courts Bill Progress

Summary

Flynn questions whether abolishing juries will reduce insurance costs and asks if the Courts Bill will proceed before Christmas. Bruton refers him to the Whips but says he hopes it will; Flynn doubts it will proceed.

Pádraig Flynn Mr. Flynn Fianna Fáil

I am not convinced, as the Minister appears to be, that the elimination of the jury system will have the beneficial effects of which he speaks. May I take this opportunity to ask if the Courts Bill to do away with juries will be proceeded with between now and Christmas?

The Deputy will have to take that issue up with the Whips.

It is now at Committee Stage and the Minister is involved. Surely he can tell if it will be proceeded with before Christmas?

I certainly hope so.

That is a forlorn hope at this stage, considering the deal done with the Bar Council.
