With regard to the subject of the second question, the minimum marriage age, does the Minister have in mind introducing legislation on this matter?

That is Deputy Flanagan's question?

Yes, it was a recommendation of the Joint Committee on Marriage Breakdown.

There have been various changes pertaining to the age of majority and so on, all of which will have to be taken into consideration.

When will the Minister cease reviewing and do something?

I might say to the Deputy that one must take into account various other laws and regulations passed. That may be what the Deputy's party did when they played some part in Government but it is not the road the Minister or I propose taking.

Legislation that is 126 years old.

Would the Minister agree that his by-passing this road will render it necessary to have a Private Members' Bill introduced on this subject also? Would he agree that it is the role of Government to introduce such legislation?

I want to make it quite clear that we are totally committed to doing this. We shall endeavour to bring the necessary legislation forward as quickly as possible.

The Minister is committed to review, is that the case?

I did not notice much work done on it——

The Minister is committed to reviewing.

We are committed to reviewing the overall position and having it improved as quickly as we can.
