Legal services and courts legislation
Pádraig Mac Lochlainn asks about delayed legal services, courts and land legislation, including possible non-recourse lending. The Taoiseach says the Legal Services Bill remains at Committee Stage and the other Bills were cleared by Government.
The Legal Services Regulation Bill has been delayed for quite a while. When can we expect it to move forward? Section A of the legislative programme includes a courts Bill to provide, subject to certain conditions, the reporting of family and child care proceedings. When will that Bill be brought before the House?
With regard to the land and conveyancing law reform (amendment) Bill, will it introduce provisions for non-recourse lending in order that people could hand back the keys to homes for which they could no longer pay and the banks would be limited to seizing the collateral?
