asked the Minister for Justice the reason for the delay in publishing the Index to the Rules of the Superior Courts (S.I. 72 of 1962); and when it will be published.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Index to Superior Court Rules.
16.
As indicated in my reply on 3rd December last to a similar question from Deputy Barrett, it was hoped to have the Index to the Rules of the Superior Courts published in separate form early this year. Due to unforeseen difficulties, however, this was not found possible. I am informed that the Index will be placed on sale early next week.
I wonder can we really accept this from the Minister. I have no wish not to accept it but we were promised this over 18 months ago and I do not think we can be blamed if we no longer listen to the cry of "Wolf, wolf." It does not seem that there was any reasonable excuse for the prolonged delay.
It was entirely due to printing difficulties involved in compiling a very detailed index. The Deputy will have it early next week.
