Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Law Relating to Contributory Negligence.

Mr. T.F. O'Higgins asked the Minister for Justice whether he intends to introduce proposals for legislation to amend the law relating to contributory negligence.

Minister for Justice (Mr. Traynor): This matter is under consideration but I am not at present in a position to say when a decision will be reached.

Mr. M.J. O'Higgins: Would the Minister say if the matter is under active consideration and if a decision might be reached reasonably soon?

Mr. Traynor: I could not say that because there are other law reform measures which are regarded as having priority over this.
