asked the Minister for Justice if he has received a copy of a pamphlet published by the Children's and he said that this was something "to magazines, if he has satisfied himself that the magazines referred to therein should be on sale here and if not, the action he proposes to take in the matter.

The pamphlet was received in my Department. It is not for me to say whether any particular publication should or should not be on sale here or to initiate any action in respect of a publication. An independent body has been established by law, namely, the Censorship of Publications Board, with the power to make prohibition orders in respect of books and periodicals on certain specified grounds. Any person may complain to the board about any particular publication. For information as to the procedure for making a complaint, a person may apply to the board's office at 26, Upper Pembroke Street, Dublin, Telephone No. 761093.
